Mpeg to wav

Is there a program where I can convert mpeg files to wav.? For some reason when i burnt my lightsaber sound effects onto a cd they became mpeg files.

thanks.

 

Go to www.vcdhelp.com, and get a program called Tmpgenc. This has an option to extract sound from any video file including Quicktime.

You should have no trouble working out how to do it.

Thanks, i appreciate it.

 

You needn't do too much, actually. There's a way around actual extraction. Set any normal sound recording software to record the normal sound card output instead of mic input, then hit record and play the sound in another program. It'll give you a perfect rip, then save as desired in that program.

That's also a very easy way to rip DVD sounds from a DVD-ROM drive.

 

Btw, the standard for cd burners is to convert wav's to mpeg's because thats all that regular cd players can play... they can't play wav's... I think there is a setting that you can click to un-set the option... hope that helps

Sort of - the audio cd standard is a .cda file. If you want to listen to your Lightsaber sounds on a standalone cd drive, there is no way around this, but if you just want to use the cd as a means of backup - just create a data cd. This way the files will remain intact and the file format unchanged.

true... i guess it depends on what progam you are using... but yes you are right.
