Do you have a clip of some song that you really like, and would you like to listen to this melody using your audio player? In modern conditions, this is not a problem, using various methods you can find almost any audio composition and assemble your own audio library. But what if this music track (along with the video, respectively) is very rare or completely unique (for example, a video recorded on a video camera)? Then you need to separate the sound from the video. You can do this in several different ways.
Let's talk about how you can separate audio from video using various programs.
First on the list is a program called "Windows Movie Maker." Why her? Very simple: starting with the Windows XP operating system, this utility is installed in a standard set along with the operating system.
You need to run the program and drag your video file onto the white field in the window that opens. However, there is a slight nuance. You should not use the “import” button and find the file on the computer using the utility itself, since in this case it can be cut into many pieces a few seconds long, and then it will be somewhat difficult to put them in a whole row.
Next, on the bottom panel of the window we find the button “Display timeline” and press - the following lines should appear: “Video” and “Sound or music”. Just drag and drop your video into the second section and save your project. To do this, select "Save Movie File" from the program menu. That's it, your audio file is ready. It’s best to use the avi video .
The program "Format Factory" will be an excellent assistant for converting video. It allows you to change any format to "avi". In addition, it is simple and convenient to use. To start the process, you just need to select the necessary files, the desired format and press the "start" button.
If it is necessary, for example, to separate the sound from the mp4 video format, then the somewhat outdated, but still very powerful program "VirtulDub" will come to the rescue. Such a utility is a wonderful semi-professional video editor that allows you to do almost any operation with video files. We only need its tiny above function - to separate the sound from the video. To do this, you just need to run the program (as a rule, when downloading from the media, it is installed automatically) and open the necessary file with it. You can either simply drag it into the program window or use the “Open file” button. Next, go to the main menu of the VirtulDub program and select the option “Save file in Wave format”, as well as the location of the future folder.
Another point: after separating the audio track using the above methods, the audio file will often need to be "cut" into parts using other editors. And you can separate a piece of the video file with the necessary fragment of the recording before this procedure.
Of course, you can separate the sound from the video using other programs. But the two above allow you to do this most simply and quickly.
