How do I extract audio from .mov using MeGUI

[Razeruk]

I tried setting audio = true in the AVS Script Creator, but it didn't work. So any ideas on how to do it?

Post a source sample. There are so many possible .MOV combinations that general advice is likely to be subpar.

Like a download link?

If this helps the .mov file is made from Kodak's zi8 pocket camcorder

[Inspector.Gadget]

Yeah, a download link of a short segment would be fine. If you're not comfortable doing that for whatever reason, then run the file through MediaInfo's GUI and post the output of the "Text" view into a codebox in this thread: that'll at least get everyone responding started with advice.

I don't have a place to upload the video, that's the only reason why i can't upload it

Hi Razeruk, I don't really understand you want to do...
Do you want to extract the aac (as your thread is named) or do you want to convert it via Megui?

[Inspector.Gadget]

Well, you should be able to dump the audio using YAMB or take it as an input straight from the original MOV using MKVMerge, if you'd like to stick with AAC.

Should you want to pull it with DirectShowSource (e.g., MeGUI's audio transcoder), all you need to do is make sure you have a system MP4/MOV splitter (Haali or Gabest's) and AAC decoder (ffdshow-tryouts, make sure to disable any audio processing other than decoding for optimal results) and then use the original MOV as the audio input in the MeGUI audio panel.

I was using MeGUI to encode that .mov file into an MP4, the only problem I had was getting the audio out and putting it into the MP4, but thanks for the help, I'll try out your advise

[rack04]

YAMB would be the easiest route for converting the container to mp4. It uses mp4box.

[Razeruk]

So there's no way to demux it or extract it from the .mov file using MeGUI?

[Inspector.Gadget]

If you feel like using MP4Box (bundled with MeGUI) from the command line manually, go right ahead.

Another question about the audio, is there a way to up the gain on MeGUI?

You can checkmark "normalize" box in one of the audio encoding configurations/profiles . This will amplify without clipping
