Free Video to Audio Converter is a program that takes video files and extracts the audio information. You can then save the audio file in several different formats depending on your needs. While this program excels at extracting audio from video files, it can also extract audio from CDs and save them as separate files on your computer.

Multiple Formats

Free Video to Audio Converter is able to work with many different video and audio file types. It can also open videos of nearly any size. From small clips to full-length movies, you'll be able to extract the audio from any video as long as the format is correct. This program works with the most common video formats like MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV and MPEG. While you might have a difficult time working with videos in other formats, most videos should work just fine.

Not only that, but you can convert the videos into different audio formats as well. You can convert the video files into MP3, M4A, WAV and other formats depending on your needs. The major difference between these file types, aside from which problems they'll work with, is compression and quality. MP3 files are the lightest but their sound quality can't compare to the much heavier WAV file.

Choosing between the formats is simple. Just select the file type you want to convert the video to and this program will do the rest. It's all very easy and you shouldn't have any problems converting your files.

Other Mediums

While the program's name makes it sound like it can only work with video files on your hard drive, you can actually use some online stream videos and even rip audio files from CDs. In terms of CDs you just have to insert the CD and choose what format you want to save the files as. This can be done whether there are audio or video files on the CD.

This program specifically works with YouTube for online streaming videos. You might have a hard time converting other online videos. You just have to copy and paste the video's website address and this program will rip the information and convert it to an audio file. This is great for videos that you just want to listen to while offline.

Minor Editing

This is not an audio editing program, but it does allow you to trim the audio and set when the conversion happens. You can remove parts of the original file from the conversion. For example, you can choose to edit out the beginning if there is only silence or a part in the middle that you don't like. You can also choose whether you want to convert a whole video file or just a part of it.

The editing is simple and done with sliders. Select where to start the converting process and where to end it.

Filters and Effects

There are some filters and effects that you can add to the audio file. These are done before the file is converted. These effects allow you to change volume, speed and other aspects of the audio. Some of them add an ambient effect or make sound effects on top of the video's audio. Select the filter or effect you would like and select where to place it on the audio file. You can also preview the effects to hear what it would sound like.

Simple Interface

Free Video to Audio Converter has a very easy interface despite its numerous tools. This is built for all users and you should have no problems figuring out how every tool works. Most of them require simple selections and small movements. There is nothing complex or difficult with this program.

Not only that, but all the tools are properly labeled. You'll have no problem distinguishing them and choosing the right one for your needs. There are even some presets to help you convert audio files. These will balance volume and add effects automatically, which makes the conversion even faster.
