Question

extract audio from a WMV file to WAV or AIFF

Anonymous

I have recently recorded a short video and it has picked up the noise of the computer fan. As a result the speech is hard to hear. I have a copy of Audacity to strip this hiss/rumble out, but it advises me to extract the audio out and convert to WAV or AIFF File. Any assistance would be of value.

===================================

The following freeware can extract the audio and

convert it to the WAV format.

(FWIW...it's always a good idea to create a System

Restore point before installing software or updates)

Freemake - Free Audio Converter

http://www.freemake.com/free_audio_converter/

(Windows XP / Vista / 7)

(***Carefully read *all* the install screens...there

may be some items you want to uncheck***)

Just drag/drop the WMV file onto the main screen

of Freemake Audio Converter...choose...WAV at

the bottom of the screen.

The output screen will open and you can choose a

save location and left click the Convert button.
