Extracting WAV from AVI - HELP !!! :)

[The Larch]

Please I need some serious help here...

No matter what I do, VirtuaDub crashes all the time when
I try extracting the sound (.wav) from a DivX-Avi movie.

Is there any other program that i can use instead that will
accomplish the same thing?

I've tried with AVI2WAV and dBpowerAmp_Music_Converter too
with the following results:

AVI2WAV - Sound becomes "choppy" = unusable
dBpowerAmp - Does not support AVI (?)

Please help.

Use Premiere 6.o to do this, although it's not a free program. What you do is open your .avi file, drag and drop the video from the production box into the timeline, which will produce seperate audio and video tracks. Then you right-click the video track in the timeline, which will bring up a separate menu. Click on "unlink audio and video tracks." This will let you edit the audio and video seperately. Then you can right-click the video track again, and select "cut" from the menu. This will delete the video track. (Don't worry, though, your original file is still untouched.) Then select "export timeline" from the file menu, then "audio" from the new pop-up menu. This will let you change the audio portion of your video that is in the timeline into a .wav file.

I've noticed that on a lot of new DivX movies also

here is what you do - put the AVI into VirtualDub and select "Save Wav" but DO NOT SELECT FULL PROCESSING MODE.

Save the wav as *.mp3 - because your actually just saving the mp3 part of your DivX

now convert it with dbPowerAmp! It works 100%
