How to sepparate Audio and Video?

[mikieson]

I have searched untill I cant search anymore here and on google. I must not know what to type in? or look for?
I have some videos that im wanting to pull the audio and video apart to make stepfiles in Stepmania.
Is there a good free way to do this and is it very difficult?
Thanks for any help or tips or links..............................

Download Rad Video Tools, load up the video file, and choose to convert the video, but not the audio.

Hey, Thanks for the help....But...DANG!.....Its confusing. Messed with it for a few minutes but just couldnt see what to do?
I wish there was a program where you can open a file, and it just splits things up and you can do what you want with them?...Maybe this one does and I just dont see it???
Thanks again for any help.........................................

Hi,

I would recommend the free open source (and very very handy) program called "VirtualDub". It is used by many for video conversion and editing, and I also find it quite easy to use. You can download VirtualDub here:

It is very easy to do you tasks (save a video's audio, and save a copy of the video with no audio) in VirtualDub.

First, run VirtualDub and click "File" -> "Open" and browse to your video file (I assume it is AVI). It will now open your video file.

TO SAVE JUST THE AUDIO TO WAV FORMAT:
1) Click "File" -> "Save WAV ..."
2) Just browse to where you want to save the audio portion of the file and click save!

TO SAVE THE VIDEO FILE WITHOUT AUDIO:
1) Click "Audio" -> "No Audio"
2) Click "Video" -> "Direct Stream Copy"
3) Click "File" -> "Save as AVI ..."
4) Voila! Just browse to where you want to save your video file without audio

Hope that helps, and I can make a quick little visual walkthrough if you have problems.

Cheers,
Tom
