AnthonyG said something about Audacity being for audio only, unable to
handle video files. he's right about "audio only" with regard to output,
but audacity can extract/handle video files, depending on the codecs being
used. as an example, i have audacity 2.3.3 for windows 10, and i just
dragged and dropped an mp4 video file without hassle. saving as WMA, WAV,
MP3, OGG, and several other formats is a snap.

freac (a small multi-OS app) will also accept mp4 files (once again,
depending on the codecs) and output audio in most "normal" audio formats
(lossy and loss-less)...
