You could do it a few ways. Using mplayer the command would look like:

Code:

mplayer -vc null -vo null -ao pcm ./filename.avi

This will create a WAV file named "audiodump.wav" that contains the audio of the video file.

With ffmpeg, the command would look like:

Code:

ffmpeg -i ./filename.mpg -f mp3 audio_filename.mp3

This will dump directly to MP3, which may be better for you.

You can also use Avidemux. It gui based & can also save to any file type.
