Does anyone know of a program (that's free) that will allow me to extract the sound from an AVI or any other video file?

I thought vitual dub would do that, am I mistaken?

http://www.doom9.org/ <-- Everything you ever need to know about digital media. There's tons of free tools there that can perform that kind of operation.

I was looking at the AVI editing tools on doom9.net and I'm not sure exactly which one I need. I think the tool I need is Gspot 2.21 but like I said I'm not exactly sure.

Edit: I also have another computer question. I checked the information on my graphics card and it says it supports Dx9 or better. Yet when I play HL2 it runs in Dx8. How do I get it to run in Dx9?

Why not get a normal sound editor like Audacity or Sound edit PRO (the first of the two is free, the second has a trial period but you can cr**k it). You can edit most soundfiles known to man and you can easily extract the sound from avi's by playing the avi with the record function on ( which actually works since as far as I know avi soundtracks are encoded so that you can't extract them even with animation shop :P ) .

Ok, say you would like to rip the sound from a 1.5 h movie. If you managed to get a tool witch saves the sound to HD while recording (so the computer wont crash after 2 minutes when all your RAM is eaten up..). It's still 1.5 hours... why 1.5 hours on a c****ed tool when a free tool can do it in 5 minutes? :P

I don't think Gspot is what you need. As far as i now (one year ago..) gspot is a tool witch views rendering information about avi movies. Look on!

Change the startup parameters in steam to -dxlevel 90, that should do the trick. I woudn't recomend it though since i knew my card supported DX9 to. But when i changed, my FPS dropped to one quarter with the same settings.

Oh, I thought he needed small portions of sound. After all, what the heck can one do with 1.5 hrs of movie soundtrack?

Actually the sound I need to extract is from a show so it's only about 20 minutes.

Edit: As for the Dx level I tried changing that before in HL2. In the video settings in HL2 it says the hardware level is Dx8 and the Software level is Dx9. I won't let me change either one.

Virtualdub is what you need.

Ok thanks.

Edit: I went ahead and just used the record function on Creative Mediasource Player. It's a great program and kicks Windows Media Player's ass. I use it for viewing all my videos and music.

I have to do the same thing, but with a .asf and a .wmv, but Virtualdub doesn't support those file formats. Any ideas?

In that case, I would use StoikConvert to convert those vids to a format Virtualdub can handle.

StoikConvert is free, get it here http://www.stoik.com/downloads/downloads_frm.htm (bottom of the page)

Thanks, one other question. Is there a way to capture audio from a streaming file?

Googled for it, you can capture ASF video with specific programs, then convert it to AVI, load it up in Virtualdub and extract the sound.

OR

you can use a sound recorder of some sort to record whilst playing the movie.
