p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Extracting the Audio part of a Canon 5mkIII .mov file


I believe this can be done with Audacity, but I get a very noisy version, which makes me suspect I have missed some vital parameter.

Please, can somebody give me a hint (I have Audacity 2.1.0 for Window 7/64 bit)

thanks

Claus

Don't know about Audacity, but it's super easy with Adobe's Audition, plus you have a ton of great audio enhancement tools at your fingertips to improve or alter the audio.

thanks, do you happen to know the parameters (samplesize etc ) for the audio stream?

According to Windows explorer the samplerate is 48kHz )

OK - I found a workaround:

Play the .mov file in Windows Media Player and record via the Windos WASAPI in Audacity.

While Ive never worked with Canon dslr video, one of the main tools I use for video is Xvid4psp. Don't let the name fool you... its very powerful and supports just about every format (as long as you have proper codecs). You can also extract just the audio streams, or video streams, as-is (demux) or convert them to what you need. I've used it for those exact purposes countless times when I needed to edit the audio stream in Audition.

MeGUI is also another powerful tool that comes highly recommended, that may help, although I dont use it much.

Both are free.

You can export the audio track as an AIFF, etc., in the Quicktime app. Once in AIFF form, you can open and edit in most audio editors.

I just tried Audacity 2.0.2 (x64 Windows 7) with an MOV from my 6D, and the exported MP3 sounds just fine. How were you extracting the audio?

Is the original encoded as mp3!?! ewww

Sounds like Audacity re-encoded it...which is no bueno for editing! For editing, you either want to demux the track, or at the least export it as a lossless format, like .wav

For editing, either demux and edit original track and save in the same format, then remux with video track. Or export to lossless like .wav, edit, then re-encode it with video track, choosing not to re-encode the video portion to prevent degradation.

The original MOV isn't MP3. I also tested exporting as a WAV and it also worked just fine.

I made a RAW import, probably not the right thing to do. What did you do ?

Audacity can capure the sound when another program plays the mov file, it works but is not really elegant.

EDIT:
Your answer made me give it another try, using 'import audio' instead: IT turned out FFmpeg.dll was missing, after installation it could import OK from a mov file.

thanks for the proding, I usually don't do video, but heard a nice bird-call and wanted to register it, so I gave it a try.. Impressed with the buildt-in microphone, it gave a very good recording.

ffmpeg -i input_video_file.mov -vn -acodec copy output_audio_file.mov

ffmpeg will also let you transcode the audio if you want something other than the native MEPG audio.

thanks, I usually don't use Audacity (or any other audio editor) on this PC, so my setup was just incomplete.
