Simplest Video to Audio Converter Ever

[c***@giggle.com]

I use it mostly to convert my music MP4s to MP3s.

II does the job in seconds, and requires no knowledge at all of bit
rate or other tech stuff.

Description
Pazera Free Audio Extractor is a universal audio converter. The
program allows extraction of audio tracks from audio and video
files without loss of sound quality or conversion to MP3, AAC,
AC3, E-AC3, Ogg-Opus, Ogg-Vorbis, WMA, FLAC, M4A-AAC, M4A-ALAC,
WV (WavPack), MKA-Opus, CAF-Opus, AIFF or WAV.
Donation
To convert audio streams to MP3 the application uses the latest
version of the LAME encoder. The program supports encoding with
a constant bit rate – CBR, average bitrate – ABR and variable
bit rate – VBR (based on LAME presets).
The application supports over 70 audio and video formats,
including AVI, MP3, FLV, MP4, MKV, MPG, MOV, RM, 3GP, WMV, WebM,
VOB, FLAC, AAC, M4A.
In addition, the program allows you to split input files based
on chapters (often found in audiobooks).
The program has a number of predefined settings (profiles)
specially designed for novice users. More advanced users can
customize audio encoding parameters used by encoder: audio
bitrate, sampling frequency, audio channels, audio volume and
other. The application allows to extract/convert full audio
track or selected range only.
At default settings, the application automatically selects all
encoding parameters to maintain the original sound quality.
The Pazera Free Audio Extractor interface is very simple and
user-friendly. To convert audio files or extract audio tracks
from video files, just drag & drop them into main window,
select proper profile from list, and click the Convert button.
If the audio quality is poor, increase audio bitrate.

A nice GUI to FFMpeg (and MediaInfo)! Such programs are often a good
method to figure out the best parameters for command line programs.
Unfortunately, AudioExtractor explicitly omits these parameters from
the encoder message status display. There are 2 workarounds, though:

First method would be to add "-report" as additional "User command line
parameter" (CL1). Afterwards, a logfile with timestamp in its name will
be created inside the AudioExtractor main program folder for every
conversation.

This method has 2 drawbacks, though. The FFMpeg loglevel is fixed to
"Debug" in this case, which slows the conversation down, considerably,
and creates quiet a lot logging overhead. The second drawback is, that
the AudioExtractor conversation status window will be left blank.

A better approach is to provide the FFMpeg command line tool, which is
run from inside AudioExtractor, with a specifically crafted environment
variable. This can be done by placing the following RunAE.cmd alongside
the AudioExtractor main program file (AudioExtractor64.exe) and always
start the program with this *.cmd.

:: -----------------------------------------------
:: Save the following 3 lines as RunAE.cmd
if not exist ".\Logs" md Logs
set FFREPORT=file=Logs\\%%p_%%t.log:level=-8
start AudioExtractor64.exe
:: -----------------------------------------------

This *.cmd creates a special "Logs" folder inside the main AudioExtractor
program directory (if it doesn't exist, already) and sets a log file name
with timestamp and log level for FFMpeg logging. Loglevel -8 is the lowest
possible setting and only logs the command line for each conversation.
(Actually, because FFMpeg is also used by AudioExtractor to retrieve file
information, each conversation creates 2 logfiles per file converted.)

The second method adds no noticeable time to each conversation and does
not block the conversation status display inside the AudioExtractor status
window.

The above post shows exactly the reason I like Pazera's converter: I
didn't have to know anything of what is in the post above. I have no
clue about all that tech stuff. It wasn't until I found Audio
Extractor that I could convert a bunch of my MP4s to MP3s without
resetting any setting. All the other programs, such as VLC, I
couldn't do squat with.
