Audio converter wanted (avi to wav)

[liviubero]

Hi,
I searched the forum for a good audio converter and didn't found any answer.
I need an application which could convert between various audio formats, especially from avi (movie) to wav (audio).
Could you recommend something?

Thanks.

to do that you first will need to demux the video try using avidemux to save the audio from the video then you can use audacity to convert from what ever the avi has to a wav format.

Or use sox.
sox -t avi my.avi my.wav
will do it.

The VLC is an excellent tool to convert between media types, both audio or video.

There are several ways. The easiest is to chose the "Convert and Save" sub option off the File menu. Experiment around with the various options, and with the "Custom" checkbox option. To save the output to a file select the "Play Locally" check box and the "File" checkbox, and then assign a /path/file/name or browse to the file you want to replace.

Hey, it works.
I must play the whole avi in vlc, but it works.
Thanks.

Using sox, avidemux and audacity is also a gut option, thank you for that.
