Separating the audio track from a video

[J.D.]

Say I have a .avi file of a TV show and I want to isolate the audio track from it... store it as an mp3 or wav or something. How would I go about doing that? Anyone know of a particular program that would allow it?

Run an audio recording program while you are playing the video file? I'm sure theres probably and easier way to do it though.

such a program does exist, i forget the name right now, i'll ask my computer savy friend tonight.

i'm pretty sure you can do that in Final Cut too. then its just a matter of converting the file i guess.

if you have premier...just load it in there

right clik and clik unlink

and then just delete the video

and export the audio?

 

[J.D.]

premier? Where do I get that.

 

[sherpasrock]

it is an Adobe Product.

and by that i mean it is expensive.

sooooo you can buy it, torrent it, or download the 30 day trial here:

adobe 30 day trials are the full versions of the product so it should work for what you need.

Hmm.. I will do that but I think I would need a more permanent solution.

You might be able to do it with Tunebite, not positive on that though.

my dad downloaded a program that does it very well, saves the audio as mp3s. i'll have to ask him what it is again next time i talk to him.

Video editing programs should work- premiere, final cut, etc.  For another solution maybe try posting this in Media & Arts- there are a lot of smart computer people that post in that forum.
