Is it possible to extract audio from WMV movie?
 

I am trying to convert a .wmv movie to .mpg in TMPGEnc. When I browse to the video it wont automatically fill in the audio box so when I convert it the movie it has no audio.

I need a program that can extract audio from a wmv movie. :)

yes, I just converted a wmv to mpg1 using tmpgenc, then opened the converted mpg1 in virtualdub and saved the audio track as a wav. No filters were required.
Edit, when I loaded the wmv into tmpgenc, I noticed it filled in the audio file for me. Maybe the wmv you are using has errors?

After converting the wmv to mpeg there is no audio on the file. So it would be pointless to open it in virtualdub to extract the audio because there is none.

Thanks anyways :thumbsup

Not sure.. I never got any errors when working with it. Maybe its a higher version of wmv

I checked the properties of the file and its Windows Media Audio 9. The codec is Windows Media Video 9.

I'm using 9 as well.

well if anybody feels like doing me a favor.. lol

Here is the file I am having troubles with.

Run a search for "Sonic Foundry"...they sell an app called "Acid", will do the trick you need. If you need help with finding it :) or using it just shoot me an aim: benjamln

A buddy of mine said it works on his pc.. there are so many options its endless to find the issue causing this. fuck

still need it encoded?

Well he said the audio works but its all fucked up.. I will need to keep this file wmv and cut it up into samples.. any idea what program can do that with wmv movies?

Dude if you could find the issue to this problem I would owe you fucking HUGE. This is actually quite important because its for a big project I have going.

I've already encoded it to mpeg1, and the audio sounds fine.
I am uploading it now and will post the d/l link here when its finished

I have used Easy Video Splitter with good results.

Damn.. I sure wish I knew what the problem is. :(

Does this program just split or can it encode also?

The wmv files are higher quality than what i need for galleries so i need to reduce the quality to maximuze bandwidth.

It just splits and joins. Re-encode with Windows media encoder at your lower quality and the split using the splitter.

I think my issue might be with ffdshow. I was unable to even open .wmv files in TMPEnc untill I installed that plugin.

When i checked properties on your wmv video, it reports back as Windows Media Audio 9 - so I don't know what the problem could be. I have had issues with not having tha AC3 audio codec (google for it - it is a free d/l) lately so I downloaded it and all of my audio issues have disappeared.

I encoded it with TMPGenc Plus 2.5
When I loaded the video, the audio popped right in for me.

74mb I know the filesize is large, but at least it is in mpg format and you can degrade it as you need.

good luck with your big project :thumbsup
I'm heading out for the night :)

how in the world did you extract it?

Real easy---hit me up on EMAIL....

I enjoy sharing ideas and concepts with people.

Unique: No problem man! I'll show you easy...

Shoot me an email...


email addy is below.

old version of virtual dub can do it, ask danny.

Interesting.. I will ask him for it.. thanks bro :thumbsup

email sent :)

There is definately something fucked with these wmv files.. I open it in Virtualdub 1.3c and its almost like the file is locked. I can't scroll thru the scene to highlight the begning and end to capture the audio.

I would but you did not leave your email addess and its not in your profile.

Yeah I have the AC3 codec installed also so its definately not that. Thanks for your help bro. I am killing meself trying to figure out what settings are stoping the audio to pop-in.

ok at this point i dont even care that its not working like it should.

All I need is to know how to extract the audio from a WMV9 video file.

Thats it! :)

there is a great program called wiretap pro for the mac - it records anything you play on your desktop - u can get it free at download.com - your welcome

Thanks but I figured it out. I bought a program that extracts audio from WMV file and makes it WAV file.. :)

Everything is cool.. :thumbsup

you can do it in vegas and videomagic
