**How do I get audio samples from movies and other video?**
I was wondering what programs and methods people are using to get their audio samples, be it from online or from DVD.

audacity is a good free program that can record your speaker output

as long as you have a soundcard with inputs, you can route the headphone jack in to that and record via audacity or similar or route through traktor.

If you have a mac, another option is to import a video clip into iMovie, then go to Share → Export using QuickTime, then change the Export setting to Sound to Wave. Boom! Audio clip achieved.

I use a program called “freecorder”. sits in your task bar in the browser works a charm 🙂

I have a PC and an Audio 2 LOL. I’m not usually a fan of add ons and other junk occupying my browser space, but I tried the freecorder tool bar and it works great with firefox. I got some sweet samples from “Attack of the Killer Shrews” and “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes”. Good times.
I also like the option to record youtube videos as well. Great for referencing tutorials.
Thanks

Any time I want to strip audio from something, this is what I use. The free trial has I think a limit of like 20 mins or something like that, but that’s way more than I need anyway.

And if you want the video also for any reason. On Safari alt+cmd+A. Opens up the Activity monitor. Once there you can see the tasks inside safari and pin point which one is still loading. (The video).

find or create a digital copy of the movie/tvshow then use a converter to rip the audiosource.
i really like this software Super (C), it’s like a media file converter swiss army knife - works a charm for this job.
