Extract audio from MP4 movie file to iTunes library

I downloaded a 5-minute movie, it's now sitting on my desktop as a mp4 QuickTime file, opens and plays fine. I want to turn the audio soundtrack of the movie (one complete song) into an mp3 in my Music library, so I can just play the song on my iPod without opening the movie file (I have an older iPod 60GB that doesn't play movies). Please advise, thanks

Open the movie in the QuickTime Player and Select Export -> Sound to AIFF.
Drop the exported AIFF file into iTunes.
Make sure the iTunes CD Import Settings in Prefs is set to the MP3 encoder.
Right-Click on the AIFF file in the iTunes Library display and select Create MP3 Version.

HT4016 How to extract audio from a movie that is already in my project without having to delete and re-import the movie?

The article is
"How to extract audio from a movie file"
But it only tells you how to extract when you first drag the movie file into the project. This much is obvious when a dialog presents you with a checkbox asking if you want to "Extract the audio track" ... Duh
Here was my workflow:
Dragged the movie file into my project
I checked "Extract the audio track"
I shifted the "Movie Start Time"
Extracted audio track did not shift with the movie
I deleted the extracted audio and played the audio directly from the movie
Now, I need the audio extracted again at the current movie position
I knew where this option was in the Logic 9 menus, but I'm having trouble finding it in Logic X
Is this option still available, or has it been removed?

Solved:
I found the menu option for extracting or re-extracting the movie audio. BTW, the original article:
Logic Pro 9.1: How to extract audio from a movie file in 64-bit mode
should really also state the menu command for extracting the audio, not just the procedure when first adding the movie to the project.
Here's the menu command:
File>Movie>Import Audio from Movie
Cheers

I want to extract audio from a video file into logic

I have a video thats in the .WMV format and i want to extract certain bits of audio from it, how can i do this within Logic Pro 7.

A quick google search on "convert WMF to quicktime" came up with this program: http://www.programurl.com/software/quicktime.htm
Never used it, but it might be what your looking for?
BTW, did you try just exporting the audio in WMP? Is that possible? I obviously dont use it You may also try to drag the file into logic and see what happens. Though I doubt it will work, its worth a try.

Audio of .mp4 movie files getting distorted by 1 hour mark.

I converted some of my fave movies from DVD to .mp4 file format that my iPod supports. After I did so, I copied several flicks in .mp4 format to my iPod. Each of those movies is at least 2 hours in length. But the problem with iPods playing .mp4 vids is after 1 hour mark of the video, the audio gets distorted up the rest of the movie. My friend with iPod vid also experienced the same problem. We found out that if the movie is in .m4v format, the audio of the same movie length is smooth and clear. This make me think that iPod videos has bugs playing .mp4 video format that has more than an hour in length. Ironically, when I play .mp4 format in Quick time and iTunes (in my PC), the audio is smooth. Does anyone have an idea about that? I appreciate for the answer. Really. Thanks!

I think is the contrary because the clip browser copies all the foleders needed. I got this opinion from another forum that copies into Final Cut:
"My workflow is to create a hard drive folder for the project, then use Clip Browser to import the clips from the card. I review the clips, labelling them, adding logging notes, setting the status and putting in essence marks as needed (the number of characters available for the essence mark description is fairly limited). I then open FCP, create and save a new project then call up XDCAM Transfer. I select the project folder and it will pull in all the clips. I then filter for OK status, occasionally create subclips then import. The clips come over to the bin, with their names and with the essence marks converted to markers. Obviously there are backups taken - I've not mentioned them."

Exacting Audio from a .MOV file?

I have a concert in a .MOV format and want to exact the audio so I can listen to it on my iPod. How do I do this? So is there an easy way to set where songs start and stop?

How about using QTPro to define the cuts you want, then exporting to a wave file that your Ipod will read?

My mp4 movie files used to transfer from computer to iPad but now they will not Tried dragging and dropping to iTunes library but won't work anymore Plse help

I have mp4 movie files that i am trying to transfer to my ipad and it will no longer work. They will not copy to my iTunes library. I used to be able to transfer/drag and drop converted movies to my iTunes are the mp4 files maybe too big Although I have plenty of space

Howdy Anastasia,
I was thinking about why the songs arent importing and I feel that its either, A) the format of the files has changed since you last imported them, or B) you may need to rebuild the iTunes library.
Here is an article about doing just that:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
Re-creating the iTunes Library file
Note: After re-creating your library, any devices that you sync with iTunes (Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad) will see your iTunes library as a new library and will completely resync. The next sync with such a device will take longer and may reset some options since your rebuilt library isn't familiar to the device.
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Locate your iTunes folder (this is the folder that contains the iTunes Library and iTunes Library.xml files).
Operating System
Default location of iTunes Folder
Mac OS X
/Users/[your username]/Music
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\
3. Open your iTunes folder.
4. Drag the "iTunes Library.xml" or "iTunes Music Library.xml" file to the Desktop. If neither is available, learn how to add files back to the Library (because the XML file is not available, playlists and other information will not be available).
5. Drag the following file from your iTunes folder to the Trash:
Mac OS X
"iTunes Library" or "iTunes Library.itl"
Microsoft Windows
"iTunes Library.itl"
6. Open iTunes.
Important: Do not add any content into iTunes at this point (such as by purchasing something from the iTunes Store).
7. Choose File > Library > Import Playlist.
8. Navigate to the "iTunes Library.xml" file on the Desktop.
Mac users: Click Choose.
Windows users: Click Open.
If your Podcasts list in iTunes is empty after following these steps, learn how to add them back into iTunes.
Regards,
Sterling

Downloading audio from a video file from iTunes?

I have a 40G 4th Gen click wheel iPod (no color or video). Is there a way to download just the audio from a video file that I have in iTunes?

I use Steve's method all of the time, and edit the Audio output in Adobe Audition. You will want to Export/Share to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, and keep that format both going and coming back into PrE. Remember that you will be working with an Audio file, that is the full (or almost) Duration of the Timeline. When you Import that edited Audio file, give the program a few moments to Conform that newly Imported PCM/WAV for editing. I suggest not touching the computer, until Conforming has completed 100%, and the little progress bar in the lower-right of the GUI has disappeared. If the Imported Audio file is short, and your computer is fast, you might not even see that progress bar, but the Conforming has taken place, just the same.
I like to keep the original Audio on its Audio Track(s), and just use Window>Audio Mixer to Mute that/those Track(s), leaving only my edited Audio on its own Track un-Muted. This is a "fail-safe," just in case I change my mind along the way, and wish to revert to the original Audio for some reason. It is much easier to Mute-Unmute, than to gather up all of that original Audio again.
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt

If all you want is to create a backup of some file you can do:public class Foo
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Foo f = new Foo();
        f.createBackup("something.xls");
    public void createBackup(String inFile) {
        FileInputStream in = null;
        FileOutputStream out = null;
        try {
            in = new FileInputStream(inFile);
            out = new FileOutputStream(inFile + ".bak");
            int read;
            while ((read = in.read()) > -1) {
                out.write(read);
            out.flush();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            if (in != null) {
                try {
                    in.close();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
            if (out != null) {
                try {
                    out.close();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();

Extracting audio from video file to edit...

i know in imovie it's easy you just select the video then go up top and select the extract audio tab...
but how can you extract the audio from a video file in final cut so are able to edit the audio and video files separately from one another WITHIN final cut??

no output volume? ... you need to check your setting under the View menu > Audio Playback ... where are you sending the audio? maybe you're routing it to follow the video out through firewire to your DV device, in which case you need to turn up the speakers on your DV monitoring equipment
...or is this a muxed MPEG file? if so you need to demux it before bringing it into FCP, or better still, convert it to a more appropriate edit codec (you can use the excellent and free MPEG Streamclip application to do this)

How do you move music from your music file to itunes so it will share with my iPhone?

Some of my music moved from my music file to itunes, not sure how, but some of it has not. It is things I brought in from my old phone. I would like it to be in my iturnes so that it will automatically go to my iphone.

Do we have to repurchase all our music we have already purched on CD through itunes? This would be TERRIBLE!!!
