ripping music from video

[TreizKushrenada]

Does anyone know if there is a program I can use to rip the music from a video file and then seperate that audio file into, backround music, voice overs, sound effects ect? If anyone could let me know of one, that would be awesome. Thanks

If by "video file" you mean .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise), you should be able to use an audio editor such as GoldWave (or CoolEdit, or similar), together with its filters, to accomplish much, if not all, of this...

Separating these individually from a single audio stream (which is the most likely scenario we have here) will be a very difficult feat to accomplish. I am doubtful that you can achieve perfect results out of this.

I am sure that there are audio editing tools that can
accomplish the requested features. but I am also sure
that they are expensive and need a lot of additional hard ware.

one cheap example is the DART PRO Karaoke Studio that removes
the voice of a wave file in a hardly acceptable way by analizing
frequencies and then reducing the volume of that voicematching
frequencies to minimum. of course this is a cheap tool!!

but what I want to know. what do you intend to do???

I thought I saw a post like this a little while back and gave an alternative. The newest update to TMPGEnc allows you to separate the audio from the video when you encode an AVI file now.

that is well known, but unfortunatly no answer to the question,
I guess

Not sure exactly then what the question is, I thought it was simply how to separate the audio out of a movie file for separate use.

no... I guess that was not the point!

The author will have a number of reasons for wanting to achieve this. I can think of the following:

1. To keep the music without the vocals for karaoke purposes.

2. Novelty reason

I see now.

Okay, I apologize for not getting the full picture of the original question. I missed the point that you wanted to break the audio file into different tracks (so to speak).
