Extract Audio From Video Files or DVDs

Scenario: You want to extract the audio from a favorite video clip or DVD
Solution: MPEG Streamclip is a free utility that lets you do this






I often stumble across video clips on the Web for which I want to extract just the audio. They could be clips of music performances on TV shows that I want to put on my iPod, all the way through to speeches and interviews.

The same it true for DVDs. If you've got a big DVD collection, there'll probably come a time where you wish you could just grab a piece of the audio track.

Achieving this is actually very simple thanks to a free program called MPEG Streamclip. After installing it on your Mac or PC you can extract audio in a matter of seconds by choosing either a video file or a DVD as your source, and then exporting the audio to your hard drive.
