Audio from Movie Files

Convert To MP3 is another of those handy "Well" applications where you drop a file on its window and it processes it without asking for parameters.

In this case you are dropping a movie file (MOV, MP4, whatever) and it is extracting the audio from the file and converting it into an MP3 file.

It then saves that MP3 file with the same name as the movie, and in the same folder.

It actually uses the power of iTunes and QuickTime to accomplish this, so it pays to have the latest versions of those apps installed. When you drop the movie it opens iTunes which imports it and then converts to MP3. The MP3 file is then moved back out and the movie is deleted from iTunes.

If you are wondering about those non-standard icons seen above: The MP3 icon is achieved by hacking the default iTunes MP3 icon, with the help of CandyBar. While the film-clip icon is achieved by copying a frame from the Enzo movie, with the help of the Quick Play contextual menu plugin, from Pixture Studio.
