iMovie FAQ
How do I export a sound from a movie using iMovie?
Written by Philip Roy
Some formats of movie file (such as MPG) are notoriously difficult to extract audio from. But because the file is a movie, if you have iMovie, you can take advantage of its export feature to extract the audio.
Simply open a new iMovie project and drag your movie file onto the window or choose "File....Import" from the menus and import the file.
Move the clip onto your movie timeline.
Then, go to the "Share" menu and select to share via "QuickTime"
Next, select to export using QuickTime "Expert settings"
When you are prompted to save the file, choose which format you want to save the file in before saving.
In the example here, the option to export the audio as a WAV file has been selected.
