Pull the audio out of a video as an MP3

A recorded lecture, an interview or a concert clip often matters for what is said or played, not for what is shown. UniConverter lets you keep only the sound: add the video, open the format picker and switch from the Video tab to Audio.

MP3 is the common choice, but the Audio tab holds other formats too, so a car stereo, a phone and a podcast host can each get the file type they expect. The official site even lists turning a video into a podcast among its tutorials.

Because the converter takes batches, a season of lectures or a whole playlist of clips becomes a folder of audio files in one run. The merger on the left-hand menu joins pieces first if you want a single long track.

Hiss and room noise spoil many voice recordings, and the toolbox has a noise remover that denoises audio automatically, plus a vocal remover that separates the singing from a track. Run those before or after conversion depending on what the source needs.

The software also exports audio from DVDs and CDs, with MP3, AAC and M4A named on the official disc page. The code MESAFF06 is accepted at checkout for 15% off any licence, handy if audio extraction is a regular chore.
