how to get audio file from a WMV video?

Question

I have a WMV file. I want a WAV or MP3 of its audio. Is this possible without some dubious shareware?

Answer 1

Yes, this is very straightforward with FFMPEG. See http://howto-pages.org/ffmpeg/#basicaudio

You can do the same thing with VLC. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
