Newb-ish question about MP4 and audio tracks
« on: August 03, 2012, 01:51:05 PM »
I have a video clip in MP4 on my hard drive.  I would like to save just the audio track to a separate file, and then burn that file to a CD.  How do I do that?  Thanks.

You could use YAMB to demux it and strip out the AAC (I'm assuming) stream. I think most burning software, or even iTunes or Windows Media Player can burn AAC as an audio disc, but I haven't tried before so I'm not sure. May have to run it through another program first if the AAC is encoded as Dolby/etc.

Ah yeah, VLC would be quite a bit easier. You'd think I'd have thought of that one first since I'm at thie very moment coding against the VLC API to prototype something :-P.
