Nope; *no* mention of video files, so is useless for my needs.

Perhaps this one works:

Of all the responses, this is the second one to mention (so far) the
*only* program that MAY work.

If you choose to ignore what it takes to register a DLL file
(even after being explicitly advised to do so), we probably
won't be of much help to you.

FWIW, it appears that none of theprograms you mentioned have video
file capability.


Then you should notify VideoHelp that they (along with
Google, apparently) are lying to people. Don't expect them
to take you seriously.
Let me Pete & RePete; I downloaded the DLL and properly "registered" it.

Thanks!
They eXplicitly say they do what i need, rather than (like the
others) lie and say "do it all" but do *not* mention video files at all.
Furthermore,it is "small" enough that i can reliably download via POTS.
This tells me that Google is not all that great..
Well, it was the first hit after I typed "extracting audio avi" in Google ;)

Well, no. You did not say that you registered the DLL in any
of the messages that you have posted yet. You may go to
Google Groups and confirm this if you like.

So just to be clear, at the command line you typed...
regsvr32 wmp.dll

It takes less time to register a DLL than it took you to type that
sentence.

www.videohelp.com lists six programs for AVI to WAV...

VirtualdubMOD, River Past Video Cleaner, GoldWave,
HeadAC3he, Virtualdub, Virtualdub-MPEG2

As i said, i downloaded the DLL and the program still bitched.
FWIW, it appears that none of theprograms you mentioned have video

i don't understand the problem ?, i write software here and there
and i do have a AVI video stream viewer that i use from installed
video devices or using the installed codac's for decompression of
a file or compression into a desired format.
it's all part of windows programming. did i miss something here?

Huh? HowinHELL am I using VirtualDubMOD to edit video files
then????

ALL of the VirtualDub series edit video files - and as a preliminary
they want you to strip the AUDIO file off, doable from within the series.

First time you've mentioned registering it.

And how did your "properly 'registered' it"?

Via REGSVR32? Or via some web site?

No, it's not the only one that does what you want to do. As I and a couple
others have mentioned before, Total Recorder will record anything that comes
through your sound card. It will save the recorded audio to many formats,
such as .wav, .mp3, and several others. I know it does because I just
stripped the audio from a music video as it was playing in Media Player.

Why don't you get that chip off your shoulder and speak reasonably with the
folks who, out of the kindness of their hearts, have offered assistance to
you. Remember, the people who use these news groups are here because of a
common interest, not out of any obligation to help whiners and bitchers such
as yourself. To be a bit more terse, you should not have bothered us in an
electronic repair group with your inane ability to select a software package
to do your bidding.

Get a grip and grab a glass of cold iced tea to help you cool down.

I think the real problem here is confusion of terminology. What you are
trying to do is not "record from audio source". It's called extraction.
Try Googling "extract audio from avi". In the world of audio
processing, a file (mpeg, avi etc..) is not considered a valid sound
"source". A sound card is a sound source. A microphone is a sound
source. A line in is a sound source. SPIDF input is a sound source. But
a file is not a sound source. So the program wasn't lying, you just
misunderstood.

Of course, how should someone know to search for the word "extract"
instead of "record"? Well, only by experience and maybe a thesarus. And
that is the essence of good Googling skills.

Hint from an experienced Googler (I haven't been unable to find
something yet): if what you're looking for does not appear in the first
2 pages, change your search terms.
 
I think Adobe Audition will extract the audio from a video file. It has a
30-day free trial and is an amazing audio processing program. www.adobe.com

FWIW, I've used this successfully:

http://www.delback.co.uk/wavrep/

At least *they* do not lie and say they do it all.
But it is clear that it will not handle video files.
Perhaps it's not the way you want to go, but as you play the A/V file,
that software is capable of recording its associated sound to a file.

As others have pointed out, extraction is something different.
But you didn't ask for extraction programs.

Gee..take your own advice and *read* my requirements!
The so-called "universal" sound capture programs are not made for
video files, period.
Thousands of people use those programs for *other* uses: CDs, sound
file conversions, recording frommike / line inputs, etc - - - and *that*
works.
But *NOT* what i needed.

The secret being is to enter the correct request.

Yup! What i wanted is to "extract" the sound to some kind of sound file.
Thanks to someone else, i got the program *made* for that and now i
have what i needed.

Start from scratch.
I downloaded a number of programs that falsely claimed that they
would capture sound from any source.
*NONE* of them worked.
That is why i posted what you saw.
Then someone mentioned a program written eXplicitly to do what i
needed; i now have the audio file and the original AVI is intact.
So from that point forward, i did not need to try yet another program
that had the same claims (or less) than those i tried.

The person that gave me the solution mentioned that same term "extract".
I am not used to trying alternate terminology, especially when i do
not know what to use (and my wimpy thesarus does not help).
Thanks for the tip.
