hi, i want to try and rip the audio part from an amaenaideyo katsu episode and then cut that audio stream to fit only the ending so i can listen to it since the ending apparently isnt out yet...does anybody know some software where i can download in order to strip the audio stream from the video steam? thx.

You can use the sound recorder application in Windows to record off the sound. I use Audacity for sound file editing, which is quite simple and is free.

And you should have posted this in the help me thread instead of starting a new topic.

With avi files it's also possible to simply open the file in an editor like Goldwave. The editor will obviously only open the audio track of the file (without such visual displays that editors have, although you still might need to crop the file in an editor, anyway). Then you can crop it suitably to contain only the part you wanted. And of course there are programs you can use to rip directly the audio track, but I can't be bothered to remember any names. You can find them with Google, like I did once...

This is a full digital way, as opposed to the DA AD way Psyke suggested.

Recently I have switched my torrent client to utorrent, however, I still have a large batch file downloading on Azureaus, my previous client. I am wondering if there is anyway to continue the download on utorrent, or if I should just wait for it to finish.

It depends. I've had uTorrent do some very weird things on me. Before, when I used ABC, it would take switch like that in a heartbeat. uTorrent has not been so kind to me. Usually, it has wiped the whole file clean and reallocated the space and started from 0%. But earlier today, I needed to patch a ddl that didn't finish, and an old torrent partial as well. I dumped them in the directory, loaded up the torrents, and they worked. My impatience worked out for me this time.

It's worth a shot. Copy what you've got, paste it into the uTorrent downloads directory (Downloads in My Documents by default, I'm sure you can find otherwise it if you changed it.) Load up the torrent file in uTorrent, and see if it tries to resume.

That way, if it works, great. If it fails, it's no different than before.

When I switched from Bitcomet to utorrent, I also changed the file name extensions of the partial files to that of utorrent, as it was different compared to the one Bitcomet uses. utorrent just run a hash check for those files when I loaded the torrents, and then everything continued like a good dream.

It worked! Thanks a lot guys.
