Today, thanks to the constant reduction in the cost and increase in the capacity of digital storage, almost any user can afford to store a collection of videos on a personal computer. The opportunity to review or listen to your favorite movie fragments at any time is truly wonderful. But what if you want to listen to musical excerpts not only on your personal computer, but also on your favorite mp3 player? No problem! You just need to cut the audio track from the movie and download it to your mobile device.

Press the "Home" key or select "Edit" and "Set selection start" from the menu. A check mark appears below the slider indicating the start of the selection. Set the end of the video selection. To do this, move the slider to the end frame of the fragment. Click the "End" button, or click on the "Edit" and "Set selection end" menu items. A selection will appear in the slider area. The slider can be moved with the mouse, using the control buttons below it, or using the "Go" menu commands.
