lossless extraction of wma from wmv

Hi

Is it possible to extract (losslessly) the audio from a wmv file?

If not, that's the easiest way to rip the audio?

Thanks

Ax

There's an old-but-still-functional 3rd-party app called AsfTools that allows extraction to wav (might extract losslessly to wma too, though I haven't used it in a long time).

you can use mplayer to dump the audio stream, too

Or ffmpeg, too:)
example :
ffmpeg -i myvideo.wmv -vn -acodec copy myvideo.wma

Or, you can just use Windows Media Stream Editor included with Windows Media Encoder.

1. extract audio to wav using any of the aforementioned methods
2. write wav to audio CD using any burning software (Burrrn, Nero, Infra Recorder, etc.)

The audio quality of the CD will be the same as the audio quality of the wmv.

edit: I spel bad
