Separating sound and video in .mov files

[danni29]

Can anyone tell me:
1) if there is a way to separate sound and video from a .mov file (and save them as two individual entities)
and
2) how to do it if there is a way ;-)

any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

You need QT Pro to do it ($29 at

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/),

but it's easy.

To save the video portion alone:
1) Open the movie in QT Player
2) File >> Export
3) In the dialog window, give your export a name (different from the current movie name).
4) Select Export: Movie to QuickTime Movie
5) Click on "Options..."
6) Choose your Video settings, and un-check "Sound".
7) Click OK. Then click Save in the main dialog window.

To save the audio portion alone:
Steps 1 & 2 the same.
3) In the dialog window, select Export: Sound to AIFF (the name will auto-change to "yourmoviename.aif&quot
4) Click on "Options..."
5) Select your Compressor and other options (some Compressors have an additional Options... button).
6) Click OK. Then click Save in the main dialog window.

Easy as pie. Good luck.

Is there any way to make the sound file smaller in QuickTime Pro? The sound only file is as big and the file for video and sound (and in some formats it is even larger). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
