Does anyone know of a plug-in , or program that is free which i can convert a .wmv or .avi file to an mp3?

Why do you want to convert an video file to an audio file?

gaekwad2 · 6th October 2004, 00:23

In case you want to extract the audio stream: virtualdub

Probably because he'se (probably) ripping with windows media player.

Just rename the file extension.

That way, you can even convert to a .doc. Instant transcript!

i wanted to listen to a video file like when i go on the road.

Here's how to do it with VirtualDubMod:

Open the avi, go to Streams > Stream List.
If the stream is MPEG layer 3 choose Demux, if it's PCM choose Save WAV.

With wmv it's more difficult. The easiest way is to play it with winamp using the diskwriter as output. This will produce a decoded wav version of the audio. Afaik there's no way to extract the compressed windows audio part.
