Ceremony videos, taped concerts and old broadcasts hold audio that outlives interest in their picture. From MPEG files this extracts exactly that: the soundtrack decodes in software, video frames are bypassed, and a 256 kbps AAC file emerges in a fraction of a full conversion's time. MPEG audio layers decode reliably given their age and standardisation. Trim marks the useful span. The M4A suits phones, archives and transcription, produced without the file leaving home.
Questions
How reliable is decoding old MPEG audio?
Very; MPEG audio layers are among the most standardised codecs ever shipped, and the decoder handles them as a native dialect.
Why not convert the whole video?
Do, if the picture matters, on the MPG to MP4 page. When only the sound does, this route finishes several times sooner.
Local processing?
Yes, throughout.
