Extracting audio stream from MOV?

[Lincoln Burrows]

How can I extract audio streams from MOV files?

I need to change something in a MOV file, and reinsert that same stream in that file.

Do you recommend any specific software for that job?

Thanks!

ffmpeg?

Besides ffmpeg:
demux: mp4box (http://gpac.wp.mines-telecom.fr/downloads/gpac-nightly-builds/#Windows 32 bits)
mux: l-smash (http://j.mp/lsmash) (supports both mov and mp4 output)

I personally prefer mp4 or mkv container over mov, maybe that's an option for you, too. Can't remember right now if mp4box also supports mov output - if so, that might also be a possibility.

it is a movie even if it doesn't have video footage, that's how itunes sees it even if you rename it to tabla_solo.mp3...you could extract it from within QT but there is no option under the export or save as menu to save as an mp3, you could export as a wav or aiff file which is uncompressed..what are you trying to do exactly?

I could convert the audio stream to MP3, do the necessary edits and reinsert in the MOV. That's why I asked the required tools for the job.

Hi! How can I extract audio streams from MOV files? Perhaps too obvious a question/answer - What software did you use to create the .MOV file(s)?

Hi! Perhaps too obvious a question/answer - What software did you use to create the .MOV file(s)? The MOV is a public domain file. I didn't created anything.
