I do it just with Audacity, tis a free program... google it.

Just play your movie in WMP or what ever and hit record in audacity and it should record the audio

Cubase also has good tool for ripping audio of av's.

You can just rip selected parts instead ripping the whole lot.

another easy way to record the output of your soundcard (each and everything) is "N°23 Recorder". small, free and easy to use. 8)

ps@greenseed: did not forget your 320´s :wink:

Yeah, you just have to set your soundcard to record "whatever you hear" in other words whatever comes through your speakers.

Can't get any of these methods to work on my pc.

Something I'm missing?

The only success I've had is physically connecting the computers output back to the input. Bit of a faf with cables etc..

Your method sounds much easier -r-

Don't know why I never thought of that.

Cool Edit Pro works for that as well
theres an option to "Import audio from movie"
or something along those lines...

I use Super for all my audio converting etc. Will convert almost anything to almost anything lol. Flv. to mp3 or mp4. Will automatically remove the video to make an MP3 if you ask it to. very useful bit of kit and its pretty quick if your pc can hack it. A mates dual core pentium D media centre ran it pretty well so it doesnt have to be mega powerful.

!peace!
