How can I remove and save the audio from a Quicktime movie?

Is there a way to extract the audio track from a QuickTime movie and save the audio track as an independent audio piece?

Wow! Thank you both.

I have stepped into a computer entanglement!:


"free VLC media player" -- I don't have such. I did at one time have a vlc app but it was screwing up my internet processing, so I trashed it. It was not labelled as a "player". So I don't know where or anything about a free VLC media player (I'll check Google).


"passthrough as the codec and to a container format" -- is that english? -- ok, computer English.

But it exceeds my ability to translate.


Thank you both for your help!

But I will have to work on it.

From Google, I found and have dl'd Avast Security.

I am hoping that is what you referred to. It seems to have installed Chrome on myMBP.


So next I'll start from there and try to "export the file, using passthrough as the codec and to a container format that supports the type of audio component in the movie".


Does the fact that all the movies I am trying to extract audio from play on Mac's QuickTime?

How can I remove and save the audio from a Quicktime movie?
