Mike,

I should be possible to make a copy of the movie.  I can do this on a
Mac using iShowU.  Then once I have a Quicktime movie, I can drag
this into my audio editor (Peak) and save a copy as WAV or AIFF i.e.
just the sound file without the movie.  Not sure how you do this on a
PC but it must be possible.

cheers,

Vicki
