Hi!
I have been doing a school project with a team of four other people. Now, when it's at the brink of deadline, I realize that Ariana, the one who, unfortunately, takes care of the main parts of the project, has been doing everything in a filetype called Avi. i am going to do the audio-part and can't use the avi-file, because it's about three gigabytes. i don't need the graphics, since I've only been making the audio and have no need for the video part. i don't have anywhere to store that huge file. I would like to convert the Avi-file to MP3. can this be done?

I live to crochet!

use sound forge. open your avi file, click save as..., then select mp3. click save and your process is done!
Thanks!

You could also use goldWave, or nch software's switch. It's worth saying though that from what I recall goldwave can open avi files so you *may* possibly be able to work on the audio directly, as then there is no way to convert from mp3 to avi, as mp3 doesn't have any graphics.

what you could do is extract the audio from it!

Thankws Burak and Petermach. This really worked. I opened it in goldwave and clicked save as and it worked! And the best is that I got an A+! I have heard of Video to audio converters, but I haven't found any accessible ones.
