Best way to split audio from video
 

If you want to edit audio, what's the best way to split it from the video? Is Womble a good program to do that in, or is there better?

What source of source file? MPEG, AVI, other?

720x480 (3:2), MPEG2, 6Mbit; MPEG2, 256 Kbit, 48 kHz

and the video is 1 hour, 32 mins in length.

maybe not the easiest or best way, but you can open mpeg 2 in virtualdub and save the audio as a wav. it will still be lossless, but it may not be the best way to do it depending on if you plan to remux it or not.

This is what I would do:
- Demux in TMPGEnc Plus
- Open MP2 audio in Sound Forge, save as WAV.
- Restore in SF and/or Audacity.

Goldwave is also great for DirectShow-based file reading, to open an audio file that SF or Audacity refuses to acknowledge. Save as WAV, then go back to SF or Audacity to read the WAV.

There's many ways to do this, but that's one. :)
