Hello all,

I'm trying to extract the music track of a video to a WAV file: I have a video file (MP4, but I don't think that's relevant), I open it with VLC, then I go to Streaming / Exporting Wizard, select Transcode / Save to file, select the video, then I try to choose the codecs in the "Transcode" page. The problem is, I want the "Uncompressed integer" or "Uncompressed floating point" as the audio codec to be able to use the WAV container. But if I select it, whatever I choose for the video codec, including not choosing anything at all ("Transcode video" checkbox unchecked), I get an error saying the video and audio codecs are incompatible, and I can never go out of this page.
I did this exact operation quite a few times with former versions and it used to work without problem. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm on VLC v2.0.3 on Mac OS X.

Thanks!

This is a bug in VLC 2.0.3, which is going to be resolved the forthcoming 2.0.4 release. The update is going to be available shortly!

Nice! Thank you!

Open the video in Quicktime (7 works, I don't know about more recent versions - never tried).
Go to:
Window > Show Movie Properties
Click on Sound Track and choose Extract
