Hmmm. I can just create a flashcard as a reminder to watch each of the video segments by Unit from the cd-rom directly and then 'grade' myself for comprehension. And I can already include the other audio files from the cd-rom and they work. I wonder if and how I could just strip the audio from the video and attach it in the flashcard? I am unable to do it with Real Player for some technical reason I don't understand. What is mplayer? Can I strip the audio from the video with it?
