theweaselkingI have a .mov file, with no DRM.
I want an .mp3 file of the audio from it.
What's the fastest way to do that?
(Linux and Windows ways preferred. Macs require several days lead time for me to grab one, which makes them inherently pretty slow)

Date: 2009-05-05 02:11 am (UTC)The problem isn't the audio input. The problem is that Audacity 1.2.6 takes binary .mov data and expresses it *all* as sound, not just the audio track.
Or were you suggesting that I play the .mov in VLC while recording in Audacity? That's probably possible, just annoying and not really "convert" so much as "play and record".

Date: 2009-05-05 02:31 am (UTC)I don't see how to make VLC output a .mov's audio in .wav. What's the procedure?

you may want some other options to specify the mp3 quality. when ffmpeg starts it will display the parameters of the audio and video streams. you can use that to determine what quality you want your output mp3 to be.
Then crop the part you want in audacity. You could crop the part you want in ffmpeg too if you know the time signatures.
Trickery tricks
Date: 2009-05-05 02:45 am (UTC)There is a more clever trick. I'll bet you have VLC installed as a player. If not, you ought to.
In VLC, open the Preferences. Pull down the menus under "Audio" and you'll see "Output Modules". The default is ALSA or OSS (in Linux at least), but there should be a "File Output". This will make a .wav file for you, which you should then be able to encode. You can set the Video Output Module to "Dummy", if you want it to decode faster than real-time.
Slightly quick-n-dirty, but it avoids muckety command line hacking.

Date: 2009-05-05 03:16 am (UTC)Assuming that the .mov pointed to in the previous post is the one in question, the mplayer tells me that it's mp4v video and aac audio.
...
ahah!
mplayer -vo null -ao pcm movie.mov && lame audiodump.wav
