How to extract AAC audio from a QT file to use in DVD
Hey guys
A client has given me a QT file of his corportae video. It has been compressed with the H264 codec and the AAC encoder. He wants me to extract the audio from this file and use it in a DVD.
But im having a hell of a time trying to extract just the audio. I have QT pro, but that just crashes when i try to export out of it. Extracting the audio, only keeps it in a .mov file, which i can not use.
I have tried a number of AAC converters off the net, but because its in AAC format, its not readable.
CAn anybody suggest anything?
Thanks

Have you tried Streamclip. It might ‘see’ the file and allow you to export to aiff.

Hey,
Quick and dirty, won’t have to mess with codecs and software…
Open an audio editor, set your soundcard to record from the ‘wave’ input (on a PC, not sure what it is on a mac), hit record, then play your quicktime file. The audio from quicktime should pass through the soundcard’s wave input and get recorded into the audio editor. Trim it, save it, and you’re ready to go onto the next step.
Take care,
Nick

This may sound very Anti-Mac but here goes. If you convert the file to an AVI there are tons of free demuxers on the internet which will allow you to strip the AC3 file out. I use ReJig and it is really easy.
Good Luck;
Dan
