Extracting lossless audio

Post by FotherMucker99 »

Hey there!

I've got a mpeg2 video from a Panasonic NV GS 3 minidv camcorder transferred to my computer via firewire!

The camcorder records the audio in PCM wave (lossless)!

How do I extract the audio stream to wav (lossless)?

BUT:
When I open the mpeg2 video in mediainfo it says MPEG Audio 224kbps 48KHz, which is actually lossy? Any idea what went wrong with the lossless audio stream?

You should have encode the MPG2 with LPCM audio, not with mpg2 audio stream or AC3.

But the best way is that you use the raw DV-AVI to get truly lossless audio.

What's the easiest way to export the lossless audio stream from the raw dv-avi file?
