Convert video to audio?

I like a song but it has two versions. I like the version that is on the video, not the audio one. Can I convert the video to audio somehow so it will let me put it on my iPod mini? Any help would be appreciated.

I'd like to know the same thing. I bought two videos, knowing I wouldn't be able to watch them on my mini. I did think I would be able to listen to the music though.
Am I going to have to buy the song as well?
Regards,

Convert video to audio only

I'm looking to play video podcasts (classroom lectures) on my Nano6g - even as audio only.
My university classes (U. Florida) come as a podcast which Itunes puts in the Movies folder rather than the Podcast or ItunesU folder, perhaps because of the file format. I've tried to copy the files into other folders but that doesn't work.
Is there a way in Itunes 10 to convert these to audio only tracks?
It really ***** that my 5g had this functionality but now I have to carry my Classic and my Nano 6G to do what the 5G could.

Not in iTunes, ditto for QuickTime.
but I bet a google search would point you to some applications that can do it.
And you might check, some podcasts have both versions: video and audio.

Need to convert video and audio files in high quality

Hi to all, i need to convert file types such as .AVI, .WMV and .MOV and keep the high quality, but i dont have or know any software to do this, are there any good options out there?
I don't really want to use a trial version, thanks.

I've used FFMpegX for my conversions. I've never looked at them on a large screen to see how well the video quality held on, but they look fine on my MacBook.

No Audio When Converting Videos For iPod

whenever i convert video files for my ipod they do not have audio. i have tried several programs, and none work. i have read other discussions about this, and found that MPEG Streamclip worked for other people, however whenever i try to convert using this program, it says "Error: Can't Prepare The Movie" Can anyone tell my why i can't convert these videos? i cannot figure it out. thanks alot.

I am not sure what you mean when you ask what the "compression formats" are.The compression formet refers the manner in which the media was encoded and, by extension, how the media must be decoded. I.e., it determines which codec (encoder/decoder or compressor/decompressor) is to be used with the media file.
If you can tell me where to find those i could tell you what they are. I can, however, play the video in itunes, quicktime, and MPEG Streamclip.Simnce the files are playable in QT, the most common place to look for codec information is in the "Show Movie Info" window following the "Format:" entry. E.g., it might say:
Format: MPEG2 muxed, 640 x 480orFormat: Apple MPEG4 Decompressor, 320 x 240, millions
AAC, Stereo, 48,000 kHz
i also am not sure if there is audio in the source file.Do you hear any audio when the original file is played? If not and there is no audio track (or "muxed") information, then there may not be any sound for you to convert in the first place.
how do i find out if it is muxed?If it is "muxed," the format entry we say so. In this case blocks of audio data and blockes of video data are interspersed in a single data stream (track). This is the normal way MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 audio/video data is synchronized. In addition, these formats commonly lose their audio content when converted using QT Pro, iTunes, iMovie, FCE, FCP, or other QT based "frame-to-frame" synchronized workflow. (In the case of MPEG-2 in MPEG Streamclip or QT, the QT MPEG-2 component must also be installed in order to convert the video data alone.)
most of my videos that won't convert for an ipod are downloaded from the internet. how can i find out if they are corrupted or incomplete?Internet files should always be considered suspect -- especially if they come from a peer-to-peer source. Messages that indicated QT cannot open an otherwise fully compatible QT format is often the best indication that there is a corruption problem or that the files were improperly closed at one point or another.
most of my videos that won't convert for an ipod are downloaded from the internet. how can i find out if they are corrupted or incomplete?Normally ypu would post them to a web site or FTP storage area and post the URL. If files were downloadedd from a particular web site (e.g., a QT movie trailer), simply post the URL for the particular web page.

Try using Videora or MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information is available in this article.

No Audio - Converted Video

I have MPG videos with video and audio, so I converted using iTunes Convert Selection for iPod and bought QuickTime Pro 7.1.5 and converted using Movie to AppleTV option. In both instances, the resulting movie has no audio. If I play the original in iTunes, it has both video and audio, but won't sync to AppleTV, so I convert, and now it will sync, but no audio using either method...iTunes or QuickTime Pro. Any suggestions? Thanks!

have MPG videos with video and audio, so I converted using iTunes Convert Selection for iPod and bought QuickTime Pro 7.1.5 and converted using Movie to AppleTV option. In both instances, the resulting movie has no audio.This is normal. At best, "muxed" MPEG-1/MPEG-2 files are only playback compatible with QT/iTunes. The former are based on the spatial synchronization of audio and video data by interspersing akternating blocks of each in a single data stream. QT, on the other hand, is based on "frame-to-frame" temporal sunchronization of audio and video data. In this case, it is best to use an MPEG based third-party conversion application like MPEG Streamclip, VisualHub, FFmpegX, iSquint, or other application compatible with your particular operating system.

Converting a Music Video to Audio only (music)

I have a music video (mpeg4 format I believe) and I would like to convert it to audio. It is a clip (video) of a song from YouTube and I would like to just listen to it on my iPod. I was also wanting to add lyrics to it but seen that I could not add lyrics when I go to "Get Info" to a music video.

Hi njrichardson,
You can only add lyrics to songs, not music videos. I don't think iTunes can convert music videos into songs, so you'll have to use an external software or website to do that.

Converted videos have no audio??

I converted my videos to be formatted to my ipod but when I tried to listen to it the music video had no sound or audio at all.
When I play the video on itunes it doesn't have any sound either but the unconverted video does have audio?

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos in iTunes to iPod format they only show the video and no sound since iTunes (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

but there are other applications besides MPEG Streamclip you can try as well.

Audio is way off in converted videos on ipod...slowly gets worse

Any help on fixes....Progressively gets out of synch with the video as movie plays. Easiest fixes appreciated. Thanks, JY

Fair enough....Videora was my program. No problems getting videos changed over from mpeg to proper format. Got them into itunes and onto my ipod 30gb video. Audio starts off fine, then slowly gets behind more and more during movie.
I read a little about how this can happen. Video is running at a different speed than audio from the get-go. The more time the movie is, the longer the difference gets.
I'm lost on some of the settings people say to use. Need a fix, hopefully with videora, since I've converted several movies already through that. Any help would be great, and hopefully you can explain it with some detail if you do have some info.
Thanks, JY

Convert Video files in iTunes but no Audio after converting

Hy, do somebody know what is the matter if i want convert Video files in iTunes (8.01) but after converting the files don't have any audio but i can see the movie perfect in iTunes and on ATV ????

Your likely using muxed video such as mpeg1/mpeg2, which is capable of being played back in QT (with the QT mpeg2 playback component in the case of mpeg2 source video) but not able to be converted.
I could well guess which software you should use to undertake your conversions but it would be better if you could provide details of our source video so that we can suggest an appropriate workflow based on that information.
You can use the Inspector window in QT to see this information.
