Ripping Audio from MPEG-4

Hi:
I like to record comedy shows on my TiVo, and then import them into my Mac to play on my iPod while traveling. Recently, it occurred to me that I don't really need the video (since I'm driving). Audio only would A) take up less space and B) not burn through the battery as fast.
Is there a way to pull the audio off of mpeg files? I realize that this may need to be done with another application...
Thanks!

You could do this in either iMovie or GarageBand.
I would open a new GarageBand Instrumental Project. Drag your TV show file into GarageBand. Then save the project to an audio only codec such as AAC or MP3.
In iMovie, you would use SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME and pick an audio only codec.

Rip Audio From Final Cut Express

Is it possible to rip audio from an MPEG Video in Final Cut Express and save a copy of JUST the audio file as .mp3? I know you can do this with QT Pro, but I'm going to be getting Final Cut Express down the road and I need to be able to do this. So I will just get FCE now if it can perform this function and not waste money on QT Pro.
Thanks!

Well, there's all kinds of flavors of 'MPEG Video' out there, knowing what you're using would help.
QuickTime Pro can do this, and it's not a waste of $20 to get it.
You can also use MPEG Streamclip to extract the audio to AIFF, then use iTunes to convert to MP3 if that's what you really want.

Ripping audio from a DVD - Any ideas for Macs

Hi
I found a nice and simple piece of software from www.imtoo.com which can rip the audio out of a DVD and save it as an audio file for import to iPod. For a whole bunhc of reasons I'd rather have just the audio from films and comedy shows than the whole video.
Oddly this was listed in MacWorld, but they don't do an Apple Mac version. I am after a one stop solution if anyone knows of one - guess there must be as the IMTOO product works so elegantly, am sure someone has done this for the Mac.
Cheers
Sammy

I am not aware of any tool for the Mac that can rip audio from a DVD-A (audio only) disk.
I am also not aware of any 1 step tool for ripping the audio from ordinary DVD video disks.
The approach I took when I did this involved using MacTheRipper to copy to a hard disk, another tool to extract the audio, and then if I remember correctly, I used QuickTime to save the tracks as individual files (with the correct track lengths are listed on the cover). I was then able to burn the results files to a CD (audio format), and incredibly the resulting CD was recognised by iTunes (and Gracenote CDDB) with the correct tracks names etc. (The DVD was of a concert.)
This as you can tell was not a simple one step operation, it took most of an afternoon trying various tools.

Ripping Audio from a DVD to iTunes

Does anyone know a simple way to rip the audio from a DVD to an mp3 for use in iTunes? I have some stand-up DVD's that i would like to listen to when I want.

You have to extract/demux the audio portion from DVDs using a tool like MPEG Streamclip http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html
As most commercial DVDs come CSS encrypted in this case you have to use a so called Ripper to copy the DVD's content first to your HD.

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.

Not compressing audio from MPEG

I'm trying to use an MPEG in FCP, but it won't see the audio. I tried to throw it into Compressor, but Compressor says that it won't compress audio from an MPEG 1 or MPEG 2. Any advice?
Thanks.

I had only used it to rip from DVDs to this point . . . seems to be quite a bit more useful than I have seen it so far. Thanks!

Rip audio from dvd on pc?

hi,
I'd like to rip just the audio from a music video I have on a DVD, for use as an mp3 on my iPod. I already have DVD decrypter, videora and replay, but I'm not much good at experimenting with them. Could anyone provide a step-by-step? Thank you!

I searched the forums, came up with a ton of answers for mac, but none for PC. That's why I posted... please help!

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.

Pro Tools 7.4 can´t mute audio from mpeg 1

Well, like we sad, pro tools use quick time to play video files.
I work with dubbling and a new problem appeard after update my iTunes and quicktime to 8.11 and 7.6
someone knows about that?
video cant mute audio from file, before update, I choose import or not audio from video file and all controls was maded by pro tools, simple mute the audio channel, if I had imported that...
well, now I can´t mute anything, I use another audio file, not the audio muxed in video, and after the update I can´t use like this way.
before anything, only video was played by quick time,
and now? what changes?
I turn back to quick time 7.1 and everything is fine.

I got the same problem... the same Pro tools version, the same quicktime version and I work in dubbing too!!!. Because I dont want to turn back my quicktime I decide to upgrade my quicktime to 7.6.2 and problem solved!
Good Luck

Ripping audio from a DVD

I have a DVD produced by a friend that has a great speaker on it. I would like to rip the audio so that I can also listen to it on my iPod. Is this possible with Garage Band?
Thanks!

Hi,
(You can't do it in GB.) When you load the DVD into your computer, what form is it in, meaning what form are the files in?
Are they audio files?
If so, you can copy them to your computer, then drag them into iTunes, and take it from there.

Ripped audio from DVD to FCP

Once I've used a ripping program like Mac the Ripper to get video and audio files from DVD, how do I get the audio only onto a cd?

Geez David.
I kinda noted that. The question is where are the original unencoded audio sources? Is this music? Or someone talking? If it is music, use the the sources if they are not copyrighted.
You don't need "Mac the Ripper" to extract unencrypted or non copyrighted DVDs.
We get so many requests here about extracting VOBs from DVDs.
Given the terms of use, and laws about extracting from commercial DVDs, many of us are suspicious when a "client" brings in an encoded DVD and wants it "reauthored" for his reel.
Now this isn't you, but when I say get the original source of audio, then I wonder why it isn't available.
Or why didn't the DVD simply contain aiff audio files as a data DVD
take care
david

Ripping audio from DVDs?

I have a music DVD that shows a favorite band of mine playing live and I really like the way it sounds, so I wanted to put it in my iTunes to listen while doing other things. So, my question is, is there a nice (free?) program or way to rip the audio? I have iLife if that helps.

Once you copy the DVD to your hard drive with MacTheRipper
<http://mac.sofotex.com/download-126887.html>
you can use MPEG Streamclip
<http://www.squared5.com>
to extract the audio to an AIFF file. iTunes can convert this to other formats.
