Not sure if im posting in the right forum. Maybe i need to be in the video forum. But i am wondering if anyone knows of a good program to extract the audio from a video. I am wanting to make a live cd from some video i recorded of my friends band. I did it when i had windows pc. But now with my mac i am not sure how. any help would be appreciated

there probably is an easier way, but it can be done with final cut

QuickTime Pro is what you need. It has an option to convert 'movie to AIFF', which you could then convert to say, MP3 with iTunes...

Use Garageband since you already have it.

Just drag the clip to Garageband. Then after it imports it (may take a minute or two) click on the "Movie Track" and delete it (Cmd + del). It should leave the "Movie Sound" track. Do any editing if you wish then click on "Share," then "Send Song to iTunes."

It doesn't get any easier, integrated or free than that.
