Description

Pazera Free Audio Extractor is a universal audio converter. The program allows extraction of audio tracks from audio and video files without loss of sound quality or conversion to MP3, AAC, AC3, E-AC3, Ogg-Opus, Ogg-Vorbis, WMA, FLAC, M4A-AAC, M4A-ALAC, WV (WavPack), MKA-Opus, CAF-Opus, AIFF or WAV.

To convert audio streams to MP3 the application uses the latest version of the LAME encoder. The program supports encoding with a constant bit rate – CBR, average bitrate – ABR and variable bit rate – VBR (based on LAME presets).

The application supports over 70 audio and video formats, including AVIMP3FLVMP4MKV, MPG, MOV, RM, 3GP, WMV, WebM, VOB, FLAC, AAC, M4A.

In addition, the program allows you to split input files based on chapters (often found in audiobooks).

The program has a number of predefined settings (profiles) specially designed for novice users. More advanced users can customize audio encoding parameters used by encoder: audio bitrate, sampling frequency, audio channels, audio volume and other. The application allows to extract/convert full audio track or selected range only.

The Pazera Free Audio Extractor interface is very simple and user-friendly. To convert audio files or extract audio tracks from video files, just drag & drop them into main window, select proper profile from list, and click the button. If the audio quality is poor, increase audio bitrate.

3rd party software

To encode the video and audio files the program uses the FFmpeg encoder (ffmpeg.org).

To retrieve information about video files, the program uses the library MediaInfo.dll (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/).

The program is accompanied by a special version of the FFmpeg encoder, adapted to the needs of the program. Not recommended to use other versions of FFmpeg.

Changelog

Version 2.11 (2021.01.19)

  • Updated conversion engine (FFmpeg) and multimedia information library (MediaInfo).
  • Information about the conversion progress is displayed on the title bar of the main window and on the taskbar.
  • Fixed Stack overflow bug when selecting next files in the list very quickly.
  • Added support for files from network shares whose names start with the characters \\.
  • Added support for the SoX audio resampler (libsoxr).
  • File properties window: when saving the report to a text file, UTF-8 encoding is used (in previous versions the system default code page was used).
  • After the user has interrupted the conversion, the program displays a window asking whether to delete the incompletely converted file. Such files usually have a damaged internal structure and cannot be played.
  • If incorrect parameters are passed to the conversion engine (FFmpeg) and the conversion process fails, the output file will be automatically deleted. Such a file usually does not contain any data (0 bytes in size) and only unnecessarily litter the disk.
  • The ability to display the system File properties dialog for a file selected on the list has been added.
  • File properties window: Displaying the CRC32 checksum and MD5 hash of files up to 200 MB in size.
  • Added support for additional WAV (PCM) encoders: pcm_s24le, pcm_s32le, pcm_s64le, pcm_u8, pcm_mulaw, pcm_f32le, pcm_f64le.
  • Added support for additional AAC encoder: FFmpeg-AAC.
  • Fixed display of information returned by FFprobe. In version 2.10, in addition to the actual data, some unnecessary junk information was also displayed.
