Stripping audio from video doesn’t have to be a difficult process. This can include the sound track from a movie to dub it onto another video, or you might want to extract the audio from a film and get rid of the video so you can listen on an MP3 player. Follow the steps below to learn how to do this, and impress your friends!
Step 1: You will need to use a ffmpeg file. The audio codec copy tells this file to use the same codec for encoding and decoding. If you want to strip from a movie, you can use the M-player and it’s “-ao pcm:file=output.wav” option to get a WAV file with a sampling rate of 48000 Hz and 16-bit, stero samples.
Step 2: If you have used something like a tccat to get a .vob file for a DVD, you can feed the .vob file to the ffmpeg and extract the audio.
Tips
- Using the above method can be beneficial in that you can manipulate the audio, by using resample, compress and downmix options by using the correct -acodec.
