  Extracting a muxed-up file

  Posted by David Rowan on June 12, 2006 at 5:45 pm

  Here in the newsroom we have had people sending us MPEG files with the audio embedded. Sometimes I can get the audio to play in quicktime, sometimes not. I can never get the audio to work in Final Cut or if I try using compressor to convert the file to DV-NTSC. Its as if the audio isn’t there.

  Sometimes I can play the file in a nearby PC, with a cord running from the PC’s output to a mixer, but this is Rube-Goldburg and sounds like crud. And of course I have to re-sync it by hand.

  Any ideas for getting audio out of these Muxed MPegs? Specifically Its MPEG 2.

  Usually the video converts OK.

  MPEG Streamclip. It’s free, and you will find it very very handy. It will de-mux MPEGs as well of course.
