Extraction is;
ffmpeg -i "input file.mp4" -acodec copy "output file.aac"
Man page;
" Stream copy
Stream copy is a mode selected by supplying the "copy" parameter to
the
-codec option. It makes ffmpeg omit the decoding and encoding step
for
the specified stream, so it does only demuxing and muxing. It is
useful
for changing the container format or modifying container-level
metadata. "
