Converting Video to Sound

Im trying to convert a windows media player movie clip to an mp3 file. What software do I need to do this? Its a music CD that I want to be able to burn to CD and play on a standard CD player. Any help would be good. Thanks.

convert it to a proper video type first

(xivd avi)

then in virtualdub, so save wav on the avi, and you'll extract the audio from it

use cdex to convert it to mp3

or use audacity (freeware) to record the sound that the video outputs (choose stereomix in audacity) then save it as a wav

use nero or something to burn it to cd

Cheers. I will try that and see if it works.

Shove the file into virtual dub, save to wave and convert using whatever program you want.

vdub doesn't take WMV

It does.

Virtual dub-mpeg2 1.6.11

Download the windows media encoder here:

Convert your vid file (wmv) to an audio file (wma)

Then burn it using Media Player to disk. (You need media player 10 or above)

Get it here if you haven't got it already:

Don't start needlessly complicating the codecs on your computer by installing obscure codecs from freeware programs.

Do I have to burn it to disk using WMP, or can I use Nero 7?

fanger · 5 Aug 2006 at 12:25

You can use Nero if you so desire - I believe it will convert the wma to CD format on the fly.

Wait a second if you wanted to play it on a cd player why did you want to create an mp3?

You can just use nero to burn it yes.

The phrase you are looking for is 'demux'.
