AVIMux...can't get it to demux my .AVI to get Audio stream

[dman777]

I am trying to demux my .AVI file so I can seperate the audio stream from the video stream. But when I try it on useing AVIMux GUI I can only get it to extract the audio file in a MKV format which is basically useless to me. I need to extract the audio to wav format. I need to edit the audio and make the qaulity better. Anyone know how I can get the audio stream out from the .AVI file?

you try open the avi in goldwave and edit the audio directly. or save as wav in goldwave.

cool! can I do that with the trial version? i don't really have any cash right now.

AviDemux might work if AVIMux GUI did not work.

Although for AVI files with MP3 audio I do prefer using GOLDWAVE as indicated by our Lord Baldrick.

GOLDWAVE is trail ware software. This means you can use it FULL FEATURED for "X" number of times before it locks up. Once it does lock up you must register it (i.e., buy it) to unlock it. However you will find that you can use it many times over before it reaches that lock up state.

You can always try AVI2WAV, too. I believe you're supposed to be able to demux the audio stream as well using VirtualDub (VirtualDubMod?), but I've never done it that way.

I have to be honest.... I've tried it and although it does it job but I question the quality of it. Reason being, when I do a hiss reduction or even a lite hiss reduction, when I play the audio back it has a sound characteristic as if the audio was a badly compressed mp3, or the sound sounds a bit like it's underwater. Would I have this problem with more expensive software when useing noise reduction?

Post a 10 second clip of the audio BEFORE you applied Noise Reduction.
