Any software that convert video files mpeg to audio mp3?

If you can't do it with your video editing program, try Audacity. You may need to set up MP3 export. I can't remember exactly how to do that; IIRC Audacity leads you through the process.

Open your file, select the portion you want, then File>Export>Export Selected Audio. You can choose whatever format you want.

Use ffmpeg

It is not clear what is your goal - convert video to audio (i mean series of images being grid of pixels to audio)?

Indeed a simple ffmpeg command will do:

ffmpeg -i "[filename].mpg" -vn -c copy "[filename].mp2"

will simply demux the audio as MP2, which is lossless and might be enough depending on the purpose; or:

ffmpeg -i "[filename].mpg" -vn "[filename].mp3"

which should convert to MP3 with the default settings corresponding to LAME's -V 4 VBR preset, which usually yields a good enough quality (variable bitrate with an average bitrate of ~165kbps). For better quality specify “-q:a 2” for instance (average bitrate ~190kbps).
And creating a batch script with a FOR loop allows to process all relevant files in a directory with a double-click, no need to specify the settings again the next time like it's usually needed for any GUI utility.

FOR %%I in (*.mpg *.mpeg) DO ffmpeg -i "%%I" -vn -q:a 2 "%%I.mp3"

But indeed, that's another weird question with zero context, if it wasn't from a nearly 20 years old account I would wonder if it comes from a bored bot or something, as it seems to happen quite a lot lately...

[EDIT] And since you revived that 15yo thread asking how to convert audio from a MPEG file to either MP3 or WAV, to get WAV files it would simply be:

FOR %%I in (*.mpg *.mpeg) DO ffmpeg -i "%%I" -vn "%%I.wav"

(Much larger file sizes but much quicker since there is no compression involved.)

IMO
It's hard to take the post by 1234567 seriously.
You can't throw a rock & not hit an audio/video software that will do this.
1234567 has also been a member since 2006.
Hard to believe in 20 years he/she does not know how to do this.

Yes, there are many tools available on the market. VLC Media Player can perform this task for free. If you wish to edit the audio files further, Audacity is also an excellent choice. Additionally, simple tools like Freemake Audio Converter or Any Video Converter can easily handle the conversion from MPEG to MP3.

Shutter Encoder can convert mpeg to audio mp3. It is a free program.

I prefer ffmpeg, e.g. :

ffmpeg -i "input-video" -vn -map 0:1 -codec:a libmp3lame -b:a 320k output.mp3

I'm not sure what you want to do, but
with Avidemux - you can do both:
- convert audio and keeps video untouched
- export only audio track (with or without conversion)

You can extract audio from MPEG video files and save it as MP3 using VLC or MiniTool Video Converter. They handle various video formats so that you can convert other video files to audio as well.
VLC:
1. Open the software and go to Media > Convert / Save.
2. Click + Add to select your MPEG file, then click Convert / Save.
3. In the next window, choose Audio - MP3 from the Profile menu.
4. Click the Browse button to choose where you want to save the new MP3 file.
5. Click Start to start the conversion task.

MiniTool Video Converter:
1. Open the application and go to the Convert Video tab.
2. Click Add Files to add the MPEG video.
3. Click the Settings icon, go to Audio, select MP3, and choose a preset.
4. Click Convert to begin the MPEG to MP3 conversion.

XMedia Recode can usually extract the audio from a video without re-encoding it; just set it to "copy" rather than "convert".
