Alternate methods of ripping the sound from Quicktime Movies

[Padawan]

Greetings,

Just wondering if there are alternative methods of ripping the audio from Quicktime movies with the copyright protection on the sound. As mentioned in my previous post, I'm having difficulties using the recommended method from the converting guides on the site, Total Recorder.

I've looked at other posts about this but the same recommendation for Total Recorder has occured.

Is there any other methods new or old and if there is please tell me about it. It will be much appreciated and will deeply satisfy me if it can be done so I can convert then burn some Quicktime movie trailers to VCD.

Many Thanks
Cheers

this is just a though, have you tried converting the whole clip and then ripping the sound from the new format? or is not being able to convert to that other format the prob? and have you tried media cleaner pro or windows media tools?

Padawan,

I was one of the ones suggesting Total Recorder, and I felt bad that it didn't work as expected, so I did a little checking about how I last converted a .swf file.

My bad-I actually did it on a Mac that time. Video of course was easily converted with QTPro. Audio wasn't. BUT... try SoundApp. (http://www.soundapp.com is the site I think. Here is an excerpt of their supported file formats, und MPEG...

SoundApp supports MPEG audio playback only on Macs with a PowerPC processor. Finally, Macromedia's Shockwave streaming audio system uses a layer III encoding with a non-standard header, which SoundApp will ignore. These Shockwave audio files frequently have a ".swa" suffix

This sheds some light on the problem Another eventuality from this knowledge is the possibility of other (read PC) apps also skipping the bad header and decoding as well. Try renaming to .mp3. Who knows.

I don't know if this helped you, you may be PC-only. Me, I'm AC/DC (or is it MC/PC? hehe) on an hourly basis @ work.

Post your results; I'm sure the board could use this info if it can be used as a method. Gluck!

A good tool for PC users is RadTools. If you select a Quicktime file and select Convert, you can de-select the convert Video, and only the wav will be extracted. The Site for the prog is:

See how u get on.
