You may want to extract your favorite audio recordings from MP4 videos and save them in WAV audio file format.

Waveform or WAV audio file is a lossless format that is considered one of the best formats for obtaining high sound quality. You can play WAV files on any media player, audio player, or device.

But to convert MP4 to WAV file format, always use a secure and reliable video to audio converter program that can retain the sound quality after conversion.

Here we have shared the best methods to convert MP4 videos to WAV audio files without compromising the audio quality.

Ways to convert MP4 to WAV format

There are several MP4 to WAV conversion tools. Some are online tools that don’t need to be installed on your system and only require a good Wi-Fi connection. Whereas, desktop video converters like VLC Media Player or a professional video converter software can be downloaded and used to convert unlimited MP4 files to WAV anytime. Thus, both online and desktop tools have their benefits and limitations. 

Below are the best MP4 to WAV converter tools that can safely convert your files without affecting the original audio quality:

  1. VLC Media Player
  2. Online MP4 to WAV converter program 
  3. Convert MP4 to WAV with FFmpeg
  4. The professional video to audio converter software

Use VLC Media Player to convert MP4 to WAV Format

VLC Player is not only a media player but can also convert videos to the audio file format. You can use this free application to convert MP4 files to WAV format and play the audio recording on any player.

Steps to convert MP4 to WAV file with VLC Media Player:

  1. Launch VLC Media Player on your computer.
  2. In the menu bar on top, click Media > Convert/Save.
  3. In Open Media window, click Add to upload MP4 files.
  4. Click Convert/Save.
  5. Next, in the Convert window, browse to select the destination to save the output file. Also, name the WAV file.
  6. Under Profile, select WAV audio format.
  7. Click Start to convert. The WAV audio file gets saved at your chosen destination.

Use Online MP4 to WAV converter program 

Online video to audio converters can convert MP4 videos to WAV audio files. Online file converters like Zamzar, CloudConvert, or Online UniConverter, are recommended when there are a few small MP4 videos from which you want to extract audio recording in WAV format.

Online audio converters are easy-to-use, but they are usually slow and cannot convert large-sized MP4 videos to audio format.

To use them, open any online file converter program in your browser. Upload the MP4 file, choose the output format as WAV audio and convert. You can download the output WAV file after the conversion process finishes and save it on your device.

Convert MP4 to WAV with FFmpeg 

FFmpeg is open-source command-line software designed to convert between video and audio file formats. 

You can use this free program to convert MP4 to WAV audio files as well. However, you may not find FFmpeg simple-to-use. It requires knowledge of command-line processing to convert the videos to WAV format.

A command line to convert MP4 to WAV in FFmpeg would look like this:

 ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -f WAV -ab 192000 -vn song.WAV

In the above command line, ‘i’ is the path to the input file, and ‘f WAV’ commands FFmpeg that the output file is in WAV format. Here ‘ab 152000’ tells FFmpeg to encode output at 152kbps, and ‘-vn’ implies, extract only audio and no video.

FFmpeg is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.

The professional video to audio converter software for desktop

Professional multimedia file conversion software brings many user-friendly features. They are easy-to-navigate, and even a novice can use them. 

Advanced software like Stellar Converter for Audio Video is fast and provides output file customization options (channel, bit rate, codec, etc.). You can quickly convert an unlimited number of MP4 files to WAV format in a single go.

Further, desktop MP4 to WAV conversion tools offer additional features, such as merging two or more audio or replacing audio in a video. They also provide multiple file support for conversion. You can convert any video to video or audio to an audio file format.

Conclusion

As you now know the various methods to extract audio in WAV format from MP4 videos, choose any as per your file conversion need. 

There are free MP4 to WAV converter tools like VLC Media Player, FFmpeg, or an online file conversion program. Although these tools are free, they have several limitations compared to any professional MP4 video to WAV audio converter.

The free converters are generally not easy-to-use and incapable of converting large-sized MP4 videos or multiple videos to audio in one go.

Imagine you’ve hundreds of music videos from which you want to extract audio in WAV format. It would become a tedious task to convert each file one-by-one. On the other hand, a professional converter software like Stellar Converter for Audio Video can easily convert any number of MP4 files to WAV at a time.
