Title: Looking for Freeware to strip audio, from a video file?
Post by: BlueSky71 on April 16, 2023, 08:56:07 AM

This is the best and easiest option. However you have to check the codec of audio and then change the extension by that. The most common ones: Dolby ->.ac3, AAC -> .aac, MP2 ->.mp2, MP3 ->.mp3, PCM -> .wav

Thanks everyone, I actually played it from my PC>DAC>analog out>RCA>Mini stereo into my dr05. added a layer of analog to it, but noone would know and the recording was mediocre to start with.

If Mac, Quicktime will do it.
