I used VirtualDubMod on Windows to pull off the sound from a video file. What software could do the same on Ubuntu? thanks.

Command line:

ffmpeg -i input_file.flv output_file.mp3
ffmpeg -i input_file.mov output_file.mp3
ffmpeg -i input_file.avi output_file.mp3

If ffmpeg is not installed ...

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

and ofcourse you need the audiocodecs required to play the video/audiofiles.

I found a easier way, it can be done by using avidemux, in "audio" section by pressing "save" you can extract sound from video file. I am sorry, I was too fast with questions, all I needed just a little bit "google". It's not so hard with ubuntu :) – Eimis Feb 6 '12 at 16:39
command line is always better but you can always remove the accepted answer and make your own if you want. – Rinzwind Feb 6 '12 at 18:23
