Hi Alan, Have not used the app you mention, I have used Toast, QT Pro, and iMovie to extract audio.
But, have you tried duplicating the .m4v file (so you still have the original in case). Then in Finder just changing the extension from .m4v to .m4a? It 'should' change the video file to an Audio file without loosing any sound quality. But the file size I don't think will change which would mean that the video track is still in the file using up space. Worth a shot ;-) I'll try it myself when I find a .mv4 on my MBP Cheers, Ronni On 01/07/2012, at 12:59 PM, Alan Smith wrote: > Hi > > Has anyone from WAMUG used the WannaAudio program which is $8.49 from Apple > App Store?
