Hello there,

With Movie Maker import the video file and drag it down to the lower audio
track. Then click of FILE > SAVE MOVIE, instead of getting the movie dialog you
will get an Audio dialog....follow that through and what you end up with is a
WMA audio file.......you then need something like Music Match to convert that
to an MP3

Another option than Movie Maker would be to use Windows Media Encoder
utility: Stream editor: this can extract the audio from a WMV file.
