Extracting original audio from .avi movie

I imported an .avi movie. The original sound plays, but does not show as a green strip. There is no way to delete/extract it. I called Apple Tech Support and they suggested, I buy "Final Cut" at $1000 a pop. Does anyone have a better idea?

As I originally stated, I tried everything, including calling Apple Tech Support. They said: "It cannot be done with iMovie 2009, you need to buy First Cut."
I found a way to remove the embedded audio with iTunes Professional [upgrade]. A friend told me Pinacle Studio [PC] will also do it. However, I am very unhappy that Apple removed the embedded audio extraction feature when they went from iMovie HD to iMovie 2009.
I think they want to sell more First Cut Software. I think they are making a mistake. They will **** people off.

Removing original audio from a film clip!Please help

Hi
I am trying to export a film with visuals and sound synced - I have done this within Logic however when I export it (Options>Movie>Export Audio to Movie) I am not presented with an option that allows me to remove the original audio from the film.
I have tried a couple of things and when I play the finished video back it has the new synced music track that I have produced however the original sounds from the pre edited film are present upon playback!
Can someone please tell me how to get rid of these original sounds - It would be greatly appreciated : )
All te best,
Al

if you export, after making your settings, a new box will appear and will ask you, which original audio from the movie you like to keep on the new movie. Just deselect and go on. New video should be without old sounds.

No sound from .avi movies in QuickTime

Hi -- I have two questions, really:
1. Why no audio from .avi movies played in QuickTime?
2. How do I install audio codecs?
Thanks!

The AVI container (invented and abandoned by its creator Microsoft) has been abused to no end by poorly informed users and its use should just die and go away as Microsoft intended when they introduced WMP.
Use the Movie Info window of QuickTime Player to discover the audio codec used in the file.
Use a Google search (codec name +Mac) to find a version that works on your OS. Most include an installer.

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

Ripping audio from AVI

Hi,
I wasn't sure where to post this question. I didn't see a forum that looked apropriate, and since I'm using an iMac G5 I thought this one was as good as any other. So, what I'm after is software that will allow me to extract audio from AVIs, MPGs, etc. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,
Just wanted to follow up on my original post. I first tried using a freeware AVI spitter called Explicit, then importing the 9-12 minute pieces into iMovie. There was a few problems with this method, though. First, it took around 15 minutes to import one 9-12 minute AVI segment. Second, after it was imported and converted into DV format (the format iMovie uses) it was something like a gig in size. Lastly, the audio, the thing I was after, was completely mangled. So, I downloaded Divx Doctor 2, converted the AVI, and then was able to use Peak (a great audio editing program by BIAS) and was able to extract all the audio and save it as AIFF. I could have actually saved it to any one of several formats, at 16 or 24 bits, for those who aren't familiar with the program. By the way, you can convert more than AVIs with Divx Doctor 2.
Thanks so much for the link! Hopefully this info will help someone else looking for to get samples from movies.

Can you extract the audio from a music video?

Some of my favorite songs were purchased from Itunes as music videos. (Because they are also my favorite videos.) Now I'm trying to figure out how to move those songs to the iPod +without having to buy the songs as just songs!+ It's been very frustrating. "Create iPod or iPhone version" doesn't convert to anything useful for a Shuffle. How do I extract the audio from the video?
Or do I have to buy the same music over again?

Hello RoyFeni,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Can you change the music video's *Media Type* to Music from under the Options tab of the *Get Info* window for the track in iTunes?
I'm not sure if you can, but hey its at least worth a try. It's all I have though.
Otherwise, this is not possible via iTunes. The only way you would be able to extract the audio is through the help of some third party application. Not sure how simple or complicated the process is.

Try Mixing Down the audio before export.

Also serch this forum for Mix Down you should find lots of info.

Capturing audio from avi file

I want to capture just the audio from avi file. Here is what I did. I dragged the avi into garage band and saw a separate audio and video track. I tried to import the just the audio into itunes but it would only let me import both video and audio. I decided to burn the audio to cd and then import it into itunes. This seemed to work but I would like to know if there is a better method. I figure there must be. Anybody out there tried this?

i'm not near my GB machine to test this, but see if you can Share to Disk and make sure the Compress checkBox is not selected.

Can't get rid of original audio after importing movie

I downloaded a video from YouTube. It saved as .m4v.
I then dragged it into GarageBand. The movie was on one track, the audio on another.
I deleted the original audio track and created my own.
I then exported to my hard drive and the movie (.mov) plays just fine with my new audio (in QuickTime).
I then uploaded that to YouTube, but it plays there with the original audio, not my track.
What to do?

See above. There is probably some remaining metadata that needs to be stripped from the file before uploading. I would examine the .mov file attributes and look for any tags that youtube originally used to recognize the file. IE as suggested above, the name.
Examine the metadata in your Terminal:
mdls yourmovie.mov
Okay, I'll check all this out. Thanks.

Ripping audio from a .mov

hey anyone know how to rip the audio from a quicktime move file (.mov)?? cheers.

QuickTime Pro allows you to "Extract" (Movie Properties window) a track from any saved file.
You will not be able to extract an audio track from any "Muxed" formats (MPEG 1 or 2 or .swf formats).
This requires either a "real time" recording (Snapz Pro or Wiretap) and other software.
You can also use iTunes software (Mac or PC) to "convert" any saved file to a compression scheme of your liking. It will still be the "lower end" of the audio spectrum because of the compression applied to the source file.
No way to get AAC to convert better than the source formats used.

No audio from avi file-PE4 & Vista 64

I looked at the post for this topic from Adobe. Did all the steps regarding the audio driver for not hearing audio from ALL clips. I can hear any sound from the headphones jack for ANY audio device. And the AVI file plays back with sound in WMPlayer and in Windows Movie Maker. When I go to Preferences, Audio hardware, default device - the ONLY device listed is the Premier Elements Windows Sound. Beneath it is the ASIO settings. That contains the proper setting for the Realtech sound card. I am not able to select the ASIO device as the new default device. I followed the Adobe post closely but I still get no sound output from PE4. What next?

I do show the ASIO button in the Audio Hardware window.
The only reason that mine does not show on the screen-cap is because it fades out in the GUI, when it's open.
Did we determine that when this file is played, in say WMP, you do get Audio? Unfortunately, with the new forum software, I can't see anything, except the post to which I am replying. [Edit] Yes we did.
Did you have any luck with ASIO4ALL?

Extractind audio from MPEG Movie

I have a MPEG Movie of a speaker at a conference. I would like to be able to listen to the speach via my iPod. I do not have movie capabilities on my iPod, so I need to extract the audio only from the file in order to import it into my iPod. I have searched back thru the discussion db but I can't find an answer. I apologize in advance if this has been previously discussed. Thanks in advance

Download ffmpegx at http://www.ffmpegx.com/ It is shareware with no limitations but don't forget to reward the developer if you find it useful.
This is a fantastic app for converting all types of audio and video files. Never tried the mpeg to mp3 conversion until now. Tested it out for you and it works great. Hope this helps.

No audio from Itunes Movies via AppleTV

Welcome to the Apple community.
