Morning: Didn't know where to post this one, never seen this before... I downloaded a WMV9 video that is actually three WMV9 videos combined (the same video with two other files that have descending video quality)... I only want to keep one of the files... Is there any freeware out there that can extract the audio and video tracks for me? Help? I've attached the .nfo file Format : Windows Media File size : 2.70 GiB Duration : 2h 8mn Overall bit rate mode : Constant Overall bit rate : 3 015 Kbps Maximum Overall bit rate : 479 Kbps Encoded date : UTC 2011-04-21 16:49:41.648 Video #1 ID : 4 Format : VC-1 Format profile : MP@ML Codec ID : WMV3 Codec ID/Info : Windows Media Video 9 Codec ID/Hint : WMV3 Description of the codec : Windows Media Video 9 Duration : 2h 8mn Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 1 500 Kbps Width : 720 pixels Height : 576 pixels Display aspect ratio : 5:4 Frame rate : 25.000 fps Standard : PAL Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Compression mode : Lossy Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.145 Stream size : 1.35 GiB (50%) Language : English (US) Video #2 ID : 5 Format : VC-1 Format profile : MP@ML Codec ID : WMV3 Codec ID/Info : Windows Media Video 9 Codec ID/Hint : WMV3 Description of the codec : Windows Media Video 9 Duration : 2h 8mn Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 750 Kbps Width : 720 pixels Height : 576 pixels Display aspect ratio : 5:4 Frame rate : 25.000 fps Standard : PAL Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Compression mode : Lossy Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.072 Stream size : 689 MiB (25%) Language : English (US) Video #3 ID : 6 Format : VC-1 Format profile : MP@ML Codec ID : WMV3 Codec ID/Info : Windows Media Video 9 Codec ID/Hint : WMV3 Description of the codec : Windows Media Video 9 Duration : 2h 8mn Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 400 Kbps Width : 480 pixels Height : 384 pixels Display aspect ratio : 5:4 Frame rate : 25.000 fps Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Compression mode : Lossy Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.087 Stream size : 367 MiB (13%) Language : English (US) Audio #1 ID : 1 Format : WMA Format version : Version 2 Codec ID : 161 Codec ID/Info : Windows Media Audio Description of the codec : Windows Media Audio 9.2 - 64 kbps, 44 kHz, stereo 1-pass CBR Duration : 2h 8mn Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 192 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Bit depth : 16 bits Stream size : 176 MiB (6%) Language : English (US) Audio #2 ID : 2 Format : WMA Format version : Version 2 Codec ID : 161 Codec ID/Info : Windows Media Audio Description of the codec : Windows Media Audio 9.2 - 64 kbps, 44 kHz, stereo 1-pass CBR Duration : 2h 8mn Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 96.0 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Sampling rate : 44.1 KHz Bit depth : 16 bits Stream size : 88.2 MiB (3%) Language : English (US) Audio #3 ID : 3 Format : WMA Format version : Version 2 Codec ID : 161 Codec ID/Info : Windows Media Audio Description of the codec : Windows Media Audio 9.2 - 64 kbps, 44 kHz, stereo 1-pass CBR Duration : 2h 8mn Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 64.0 Kbps Channel(s) : 2 channels Sampling rate : 44.1 KHz Bit depth : 16 bits Stream size : 58.8 MiB (2%) Language : English (US)
I haven't seen that format often, but AsfBin can extract segments. http://www.videohelp.com/tools/AsfBin I think VideoRedo can also handle it, but it isn't free - read somewhere that the demo was functional for a short time and it's probably simpler.
Thanks for your input mate... Any chance that you have used this software and have a user guide for it? Why do people create software and not include documentation that you will need to use it? Bloody hell C
1 Browse to the folder containing the files. 2 Move a file into workspace. 3 Turn on preview window. 4 Using the left portion of the slider thingy, move to the approximate start of the segment. 5 In the preview window, fine tune the start 6 Repeat with the right thingy for the end 7 Browse to the output location 8 Save it.
Thanks Attar: ASFBinWin did the trick... Ran it from a USB stick no muss no fuss... Kinda strange that I could open the original file with Media Player Classic in Win 7 but it would not play back the extracted file with either an asf or wmv extension (said it couldn't render the file)... Checked preferences and all formats were checked off... After transcoding to avi the file plays fine - weird Thanks for your help - appreciate it T
