If you have mplayer installed, it's pretty simple to extract the audio:
mplayer -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm:file=filename.wav file.mov
then you can use something like lame to convert to mp3:
lame -h filename.wav filename.mp3
Thanks for the insight, Scott! I'm just guessing here: '-vc dummy' tells MPlayer to use dummy video hardware '-vo null' switches off the video output '-ao pcm:file=filename.wav' writes the audio output to filename.wav Looks like I've got some reading up to do on MPlayer's CLI capabilities. This could be *extremely* helpful and I really appreciate the heads-up! Andrei, Whether or not this procedure works, and I'm pretty sure it will, would you be willing to share a sample of (or from) one of the uncompressed .mov files for experimentation? - Carl
