Default Anyone know how to strip the audio from an .avi file?

I've got a music video which I downloaded a while back, and I'd like to use the audio off it to soundtrack one of my AR vids, but I can't figure out how to get rid of the video and just keep the audio. The version I have is an .avi but I think I could reaquire it in .mpeg if that's easier... Any ideas?

Try running it through VLC (VideoLAN Client). Fire up VLC, Wizard, Transcode/Save to file, select only the audio stream and the rest is pretty self explanatory. Should do the trick nice and easy without complications. Shout if you need more help.

Hmm. It looks like it's working, but so far it either doesn't produce a file, or it produces a silent file, or on one occasion it produced a nice spectrum loading tape sound I'll keep playing with it

Try stripping it to an uncompressed .wav file (.wav encapsulation). The mpeg options are producing weird results here too

That did it- thanks a lot! That VLC's a temperamental sod, it seems like because I wasn't adding the .wav extension it just decided to do the transcoding, but not bother to save it :P

You need to get a program called ProjectX. It splits all video files into their components of video & audio. It creates the audio as MP2, but most programs will load it as a playable soundfile.
