hey everyone today I'm going to show you
how you can rip audio from almost any
video with QuickTime Player in Mac OS 10
now Quicktime player has a lot of Handy
functionality that not a lot of people
use just because they don't know about
it and if you actually look into
QuickTime Player there's a lot of neat
stuff that you can do and one of the
neat features is ripping the audio from
pretty much any video now the reason I
say pretty much is because there are a
couple different formats that if quick
time doesn't support you won't be able
to use obviously so but most file
formats are supported like MP4 that mov
most things that you would use there's a
couple file formats that aren't
supported that you won't be able to rip
the audio from but they're very minor
and chances are you won't be using them
anyways so when I open up this video
here I'm going to want to make sure that
I'm opening up with QuickTime Player 10
and not something like QuickTime Player
7 which is the old version and if you're
on an operating system like leopard that
doesn't support QuickTime Player 10 you
won't be able to do this unless you have
the pro version of QuickTime Player 7 so
we're going to open this up and this is
a previous video on Cult of Mac here of
course I should warn you you could
theoretically use this for piracy for
ripping your own audio tracks from
videos uh but you know that is illegal
so you really shouldn't be doing that uh
but you know just just use it as your
own risk so I'm going to go up here to
file and I am going to select export now
under export you're going to have a lot
of different options that you can use
for exporting files so if I look under
here you can see that by default it's
selected for mac and PC but you'll see
this audio only file option right here
and it says compatible with iPod iPhone
iPad Apple TV Mac and PC and that's as
simple as is and from here I can just
name it whatever I want and I'm just
going to name it
audio from video and I'm going to hit
export and now it's going to export to
my desktop in this case and it doesn't
take long at all and I can click quick
time player and you can see right here I
have audio from video and it exports as
a m4a file which if you look is an M4
audio file so it's not an MP3 or
anything like that but it's still audio
that you can work with and actively use
in iTunes or whatever you need and if I
preview this file you can see that
indeed the audio in it is exactly the
same as the audio in the
video and that's how it works and it's
really as easy as that and I've used
this before and it works great and I've
never had any problems with it and it's
just another easy thing that you can do
with QuickTime Player 10 right in Mac OS
10 so there you go there's how you can
rip the audio from nearly any video file
within QuickTime Player 10 of course if
you have anything that you'd like to see
me do a howu on make sure to send me an
email I hope you found this video useful
and thank you for watching
