I will certainly have a look at AoA.

At the risk of making his head swell, I have always found Wainuitech very helpful toward us less educated lot. Awhhh Shucks :blush: :blush: - it should only copy the Audio, the original stays in place. If its a DVD/CD then the audio is burnt into the disc, and is there for good.

I have seen once a program for actually removing the audio from a .avi - which I thought a bit "odd" - now if it were embedded subtitles in a movie that I can understand .

669649 2008-05-15 23:09:00 I think the audio is a separate stream within a video file, which can be extracted separately. Many people use to run about 3 programs to extract audio a while back - DVD2AV1 (The main converter - extracts and down mixes/demuxes the music/sound track), then Audacity (To convert to mp3/split tracks), and Cool Edit Pro2, MP3 Cut, etc. But generally a tedious process, but adequate. Most of those programs were also in their infancy at the time, and I recall conversions were sometimes a bit buggy...

I'm guessing program components or derivatives (or similar) of DVD2AVI are used in AoA extractor. But since YouTube came along, there seems to be several all-in-one easy to use free video/audio converters/extractors/editors...

669650 2008-05-16 01:48:00 You load your .avi video file into AoA Extractor and you nominate whether you want the audio to be extracted and captured as .wav or mp3, click start, and in a very short time, all done. That easy. Just the audio is taken out. But the original file is NOT damaged. Good luck!! Aporosa (5671)
