Ripping audio from a video file 101
Yo Col_Wolf;
I’m glad you're enjoying the clip. I’m gonna consider that my “good deed” for this month!
In all fairness, ripping audio from video is pretty straightforward ... if you have the video file.
It requires 2 pieces of software – both are freeware – one of which you most likely already have installed.
1) I didn’t have a copy of ‘Memphis Belle” but I am very active in P2P file sharing (torrent) so obtaining a copy took 10 minutes.
A nice one too: Blue-Ray rip in 1080p with Dolby-digital 5.1 (hence the “heavy bottom end”)
- if any of you have an interest in P2P and wish to learn more; send me a PM as it’s not a topic that is allowed in this forum. :pirate:
2) Next I had to identify where the desired sequence was in the movie – found it @ 1h 8m
3) Load the video into “Windows Movie Maker” (Win 7 & 8.1) or “Movie Maker” (Win 10) – I’m not 100% sure of this as I don’t have Win 10
- edit (remove) all the video before & after the clip
- Click “Save movie as” go down to the bottom entry and select “audio only”
- hit “save movie”
The audio clip is an MP4a in stereo @ 44,000 bit rate
4) Download & install “Format Factory” (freeware)

Format Factory allows ANY audio, video or picture file for be converted into another format, quickly & easily.
It also allows for full customization in audio bit-rate, video frame-rates etc.
5) Load the audio file into Format Factory.
- set convert to .wav output
- reset bit rate to 11025 bits per sec. (for CFS2)
- set output to mono (for CFS2)
To some this might sound a bit complicated, but do it a couple of times and you’ll see how easy it really is.
OK ... class dismissed ... no exam ... meet you all at the “O” club .... Col_Wolf is buying all the “virtual beer” tonight! :ernaehrung004:
