Default Music from .MP4

I used Win 7 movie maker to extract a portion of a .MP4.
Now I want to extract the music to a windows compatible music file.
Then put on my cell phone.

Can something on Windows 7 or XP do this ?

If not, is there a free application to do this?

TIA

I like FFMPEG. It works with movies, sound and video.

It's command line. The following is an example only, but is
likely to work for your test.MP4 as well.

ffmpeg -i test.m4a -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 192k test.mp3

FFMPEG is normally available as source, however there are
build-meisters who make available very nice binaries.

https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

(Example of a Static build, a nightly from February...)
https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/wi...n32-static.zip

You want 32bit, static, because the static version, the ffmpeg.exe
file (36MB) has all the DLLs baked into the executable. That means
your copy of ffmpeg.exe is portable and can be put anywhere you
need to use it. That's why I prefer static builds.

The included ffplay.exe, plays stuff for you. So you can
verify that at least *something* will play it.

As others have said, there are lots; I presume with a name like
"WinUser" you'd prefer a non-command-line one. There are still plenty:
the couple I use on XP are Free Video to Audio Converter and AoA Audio
Extractor. GoldWave (the audio editor) can load (audio from) at least
one movie format, too (so obviously can save it).

VLC is free and does lots of transcoding. I use it whenever I want to
create an audio file (to put on my iPod ) from a MP4 or MPG file that
started as a TS file captured from my DVR.

Look at these to get you started:

If you don't have VLC, get it he

ffmpeg -i test.m4a -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 192k test.mp3


You typoed (sorry, but the OP might mess up)

ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 192k test.mp3

(though I use "-q 2" in the place of "-b:a 192k"

Or he could just copy the stream, see what it is with
Mediainfo and (I'm assuming it's aac)

ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -c:a copy test.aac

It's blinking fast (you blink, it's done) and since no
re-coding is done, there is no quality loss. It just extracts the
original soundtrack as is.

I use this to extract audio from videos made with my Canon camera.
Very easy to use.

Thanks all !

I can and did search BUT I was looking for your opinion on something you
used and how well it worked.

I have a few new things to look at now.

Does anyone know if Nero can extract audio from movies ?

Why not see if they have a "Trial" version, download it and see ?

http://www.nero.com/ena/products/nero-recode/?vlang=us

If you have Nero on your machine already, I don't recommend
mixing Nero products on the same computer. Use a second computer
to run the trial, before you decide to buy it. Nero is the
"King of Cruft" in terms of the amount of bloat they'll put
on a PC. And I don't trust them to mix previous paid licenses
with new trial versions, without breaking something. Sometimes
usage of a Trial, causes a paid version to "break".

I like VLC, but have always struggled to use its convert abilities, so
had a look at the above. With two different browsers, I see text with
large gaps in it: are these screenshots in your browser? (If so, can
some kind soul post a .pdf of it somewhere?)

Despite being stand-alone, the installer does two call-homes (though
continues if these are blocked).

Seems a good, fast converter: looks like it uses FFMPEG, and shows you
in a DOS-like window what it's doing!

Wow, that was quick - thanks!

Out of curiosity: (a) which browser (and version) do you use, (b) how do
you _do_ that, get the whole page (or, as in this case, even better, a
selection of it) into one .gif?

Practice :-)

I have a print driver that can "print to Postscript" a 24 inch by 108 inch page.
This allows longer web pages to be acquired in one shot. It also helps
with web pages, where subsequent pages in a print, the frame goes
"underneath" the page and you get white for pages 2 through n. So if
you can manage to fit a web page into a single sheet, it helps.

The only reason a print cannot be made larger than that, is
108 inches is the coordinate space limit for Postscript (in this case).

Then, I pull that into GIMP and convert it to a GIF. In this case, I scaled
the image down a bit so it wouldn't get flagged on PostImg.

You can never really tell what PostImg is going to do. Strictly speaking,
the image dimensions are too big. The image should have been auto-scaled
down by the web site (which would ruin it). So I don't know why I got away
with it. But, I had to try.
