kagaku Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Does anyone know of a decent utility that can extract the audio from an mpeg2 video file? Virtualdub seems to do it, but it doesn't always work for some reason, in particular with one video I'm trying to extract audio from. Preferably, I'd like to save the extracted audio stream as a wav file, but format doesn't matter really since that can be converted. Windows only solutions please, my Linux box died on me last week (rest in peace ye ole 60gig.. :(). Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyD Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I would check out the tutorials over at vcdhelp.com. I'm sure you will find some that deal with ripping the audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velocity3k Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 TMPEG Plus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezza Veteran Posted October 17, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 17, 2003 If you can't find any other way, you can always fall back on installing mplayer via cygwin, and using "mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile audio.wav -vo null movie.mpeg" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else: thanks for the suggestions, I'll try 'em out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kagaku Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 Well, I tried mplayer and tmpeg, both didn't work right. I was left with a wav file that will only play in Windows Media Player, and no conversion program thus far can convert it to ogg or mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEMO.INC Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 with lame you can encode that wav in mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezza Veteran Posted October 17, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 17, 2003 do you know what codec the sound was in? was it a vcd? if so, the sound was in mp2 format, and a straight dump would conserve the format, ignoring whatever extension you gave it. you would have to play the file in WMP or winamp or something, and do a wav disk write. then encode.

kagaku Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 It's an mpeg2 music video. The converter I tried using was LAME, along with various Ogg converters, everything just crashes when trying to process the file, or gives an error.
