How to convert .mp4 or .flv to mp3?

I've been searching for Mac software that lets me convert mp4 or flv files to mp3, but I can't seem to find any at all. I know of some that work on windows, but since I have a macbook pro I want a program that works on it.
It doesn't have to be free, I don't mind paying for the software if it actually works...So if anyone knows of anything please let me know. Thanks in advance!

I use iSquint to convert the .flv to .mp4.
Then AudioExtract to rip the audio off (in AIFF format).
I add the new file to iTunes and convert it to .mp3, sometimes.
It's all freeware, but it'll ask you every time to donate or purchase.
There are no restrictions on iSquint.
There is a 3 file limit on AudioExtract. But all you have to do is quit after the first one and open it again.
Before I had AudioExtract, I'd import the .mp4 into iMovie and put in in a movie file and extract audio that way.

How to convert MP4 on iTunes to MP3 or WAV for Windows Media Player?

I have purchased lots of audio books online, but until recently had not purchased much music. I recently purchased an album, and it downloaded nicely into iTunes, and of course I can access it on my 80 gig iPod. But when I tried to move a copy into Windows Media Player so I could copy it into a little MP3 player that I bought for special use, I found that I could not get a copy to convert. DOes anybody know how I can convert a Store purchase from MP4 to MP3 or WAV file for use with Windows Media Player?

+"I recently purchased an album... so I could copy it into a little MP3 player..."+
You shopped at the wrong place. The iTunes Music Store does not sell (and has never sold) anything in MP3 format. If you want MP3s for your MP3 player, shop at online stores that sell MP3s, such as amazon.com.
As for any iTunes DRM-encumbered tracks you are already stuck with, take Zevoneer's advice and use iTunes to burn them to an audio CD.

The normal situation would be wanting to convert .m4a (AAC or Apple Lossless) to .mp3 as these are both music file formats. The extension .mp4 is normally for a video file and iTunes itself will only convert music files from one format to another.
For details on how to convert between music formats see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1550
If you want to convert the audio track of an .mp4 video to a .mp3 file then you are going to need to use a different utility.

well im guessing or atleast hoping you 3 who posted on here got it sorted out by now but thought id post on here to help anybody who has the same problem in the future.i had the same problem and after searching a few different forums i found that mp4's are a bit troublesome when converting them.apparently a good way to get around it is opening the mp4 in quicktimepro and then exporting it as an flv.i dont know if its that simple but i dont have quicktimepro anyway so i couldnt do it.
but here is what i did- i uploaded my video to youtube.
then using keepvid.com i downloaded it from youtube as an flv file.(you have the choice of a few different file types)
now it works in my flash perfectly.
hope it helps somebody and if anybody knows an easier way (there must be one) please let me know
cheers

Pocket Playlist- how to convert mp4 file to use on pocket playlist

I have an mp4 video that i would like to use on my pocket playlist, but not sure how to convert the file?

Hello Andy,
I do not have an HP Pocket drive but according to the manual...
The pocket acts as any other drive to store files on. Its the media player that you use that has to support the type of file you are playing.
This is cut from the manual.
"File types supported by HP Pocket PlaylistYour playback device may not support all of the following formats. If your playback device does not support a format, use the ArcSoft MediaConverter 7 computer application to convert (transcode) the files into a format that will play back on your mobile device.
HP Pocket Playlist supports the following file formats:
Video: .avi, .3gp, .flv, .m4v, .m4p, .mov, mp4, .mpeg, .mpeg2, .mpg, .ogg, .qt, .ts, .tts, .wmv
Music: .aac, .ac3, .adts, asf, .lpcm, .m4a, .mp3, wav, wma
Photo: .bmp, .gif, .jpeg, .png, .tiff, .tif
You need to import files with the "Arcsoft Media Converter" which will convert the format for you.
Here are the links to all the info for HP Pocket Drives.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4, converting mp4 to flv - seriously drifting sync

(Not sure this is the right forum for this - I didn't see a forum for AME but it's being used in conjunction with Flash)
I've been trying to convert a 2:54 mp4 to flv, and when I'm done, when playing the resulting flv it tells me it's now 3:37. Of course the audio runs out at 2:54 so I have half a minute of silence.
The mp4 was ripped from DVD using HandBrake.
I tried converting using a couple of different presets and keep getting the same result. I can't seem to locate any sort of "keep video locked to audio" option in AME CS4.
Maybe it's a frame rate issue? I'm not sure how to determine the frame rate of the original, but the DVD is a burn from the video house that produced the video - US format. So probably 29.97?
Help!
- Bob

Well that did work. Unfortunately Viddler turned the previously 16 x 9 video into 4 x 3. Not sure why - found a thread there where they suggest this could happen if exported from a Mac. My source was ripped from a DVD (though it may have originated on a Mac).
So now we're just linking to it on YouTube. Crappy solution but best I'm going to get under the circumstances.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Can't convert MP4 to .fLV for flash using encoder CC 2014

Hi
Seriously adobe, I wish I never upgraded to CC, it's been a nightmare.
I need to convert an MP4 to an .flv for flash pro CC. Encoder CC no longer supports this, which is UNBELIEVABLE....
I use a third party vendor for video in flash banner advertising and it only supports .flv files.
Can someone tell me what other programs allow me to so the MP4 to FLV conversion?

Converting MP4 to FLV

Hi,
I posted this in the Flash Encoder forum a few days ago, but
haven't gotten any responses. So I'm hoping someone here might
know.
I'm trying to take a MP4 file, and convert it to a .flv to
use on our Intranet.
When I open Flash Encoder, I select the .MP4 and settings in
Encoder are
Flash 8 Medium Quality (400kbs)
It goes through the process of converting the file, and saves
a .flv.
but when I try and view the .flv I can double click on it and
it opens Flash Player 9 and I get nothing but a white screen. All
the controls in the control menu are shaded out.
If I try and insert the file into a page within dreamweaver
and upload everything to the server, I still get nothing.
So it seems the conversion from MP4 to .flv is not working
correctly.
Before I encode it, if I go into the settings area of Flash
Encoder, and move the timeline I can see the frames of the video.
So I'm assuming the MP4 is not the problem.
Is there something else I need to do?
Thanks.

Hmmm...so you encode the mp4 and it generates an flv, right?
And then in Flash (I'm just thinking out loud here) you create a
new fla, import -> video and choose the flv and it walks you
through the process where you select 'streaming from server' and
the player skin, etc. and then it places the flv instance on stage
in the fla.
Then you can fiddle with the stage dimensions, publish it,
and once you upload the flv, the swf with the flv as a parameter,
the swf for the player skin, the .js file and the html file to the
server you should be able to play the video.
If you've done all that, I guess the next question would be
whether you've tried it with another format, like an .avi or
something else.

HT1550 how to convert a voice memos to MP3

Hello,
I need to convert a voice memo to MP3 then upload to FPT, any ideas?
Thanks very much.

I don't know what the format of the iPhone recordings is, but presumably it's something you can play in iTunes?
If so: in iTunes Preferences click the 'Import Settings' button and in the top drop-down menu choose 'MP3 encoder'. You can set the bitrate etc using 'Custom settings' in the second menu if you want.
Now drag the recordingh into the iTunes Music list. Select it, and from the Advanced menu choose 'Create MP3 version' to make an MP3 copy. You can drag this out to the Desktop and delete both it and the original from iTunes.
