With ffmpeg installed, you can extract just the audio. Here is a sample command usage:
ffmpeg -i video_file.mp4 audio_file.mp3

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

You may want to pass through the audio so it's not reencoded. The top answer on this stack overflow article has an example. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9913032/how-can-i-extract-audio-from-video-with-ffmpeg
And a copy/paste:
ffmpeg -i input-video.avi -vn -acodec copy output-audio.aac
Certainly. ffprobe is also a good command to check what audio codec is in the video
For those not comfortable with a terminal, I suggest VLC. I'm 95% sure it is just using ffmpeg under the hood as well.
I’m trying to download it, but my Chromebook is making the file register as “read only.” How do I fix that?
I don't think ffmpeg works on Chromebooks.
This online converter worked for me.I don't know if there's a size limit; if there is you may have to trim the video first.
If you search "extract audio from video" online you can find other similar options.
What movie making program are you using? You should be able to just put in the video and disable or delete the video track, only leaving the audio.
Use handbrake command line. References available on the web. Ffmpeg would also work
If you're comfortable with the command line, you could use a tool like ffmpeg to do this on your own computer. You might need to know the format of the video file and the format that you want to make the audio file, though.
The most user friendly way is to download Shutter Encoder and drag / drop your file into it and select MP3 / Wav from the drop down menu.
