Any easy way to extract audio from video files on Windows 11 PC?
Hello everyone, I have a collection of MP4 videos on my computer, some of which are downloaded from YouTube. For a personal project, I need to extract the audio from these videos. I am using Wind...
While online tools for extracting audio from video files can be convenient, there are several reasons they might not be the best choice, especially for Windows 11 users working with personal or large files:
- Many online services impose restrictions on the size of files you can upload (often between 50MB to a few hundred MB).
- If your MP4 videos are large, you might not be able to upload them or may need to split them into smaller parts.
- Uploading personal or downloaded videos (especially from YouTube) to third-party servers may expose your data to privacy risks.
- Sensitive or copyrighted content might be at risk of being stored or misused, even if the service claims to delete files afterward.
- Uploading large video files can take a long time depending on your internet connection.
- Downloading or extract audio from video files also adds to the total time, which can be inefficient for large files.
They can sometimes experience downtime, slow performance, or errors, which can interrupt your work.
