ffmpeg can be used to extract audio from a video file. Install ffmpeg
for the host OS (add it to the path if using Windows) and use the command as below.
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -ac 2 -ar 44100 -vn audio.mp3
-i
specify input file
-ac
audio channels
-ar
audio rate which is the sampling rate per second
-vn
video none to not output video data
-ab
audio bitrate for constant bitrate. -ab 320k
means a bit rate of 320 kBit/sec.
Specifying a bit rate using -ab
will produce audio file with constant bit rate (CBR). Leaving it out will give audio with variable bit rate (VBR). I recommend using VBR for better quality to size ratio.
