One other possible option, is to install Audacity on your Windows 10. Play the video in Windows Media Player which comes preinstalled with Windows 10 and have Audacity record the audio track only.

 

Here's how:

 

1) download and install Audacity (software is here > https://www.audacityteam.org/download/ )

2)Open Windows Media Player and load your video file

3)Play the video file and switch back to Audacity and hit the Red record button. You should see the colorful meters registering and the file being recorded

4)when done, use the Stop button in Audacity and save the file as a WAV or MP3 (Mp3's are smaller in size and compressed).  For simplicity use WAV as this is what Cornell prefers (over MP3)

5)login to your eBird account where you have saved the ebird list that you wish to add the audio file

6)choose the Manage Media button and locate the newly saved WAV or MP3 file on your Windows 10

 

This should do the trick with your current Video files and saving only the audio.
