Convert from m4v to mp3, wav, etc?

[Gaspar]

Can dBpoweramp do this? Strip the video and convert to an audio format?

Thanks.

You would have to try on your files, if not recognized, rename to .mp4

Ahhh: it doesn't recognize m4v, but I'll try to rename to mp4 and see if that works. Thanks !!

Spoon !! It worked !! :komisch7:

Rename the M4V files to MP4, then convert to whatever audio format I want.

Transcoding lossy --> lossy is not a good thing, it will lead to quality loss.

m4v's usually have aac audio. What you can do, is to use ffmpeg: command-line
ffmpeg -i INFILE.m4v -acodec copy -vn OUTFILE.m4a
will copy (without decode/encode) the audio stream to an m4a file.
