Extract audio aac from mp4
mp4box can also do this.
To demux/extract aac from mp4 (assuming audio is the 2nd track):
mp4box -raw 2 video.mp4
This will automatically create output file "video_track2.aac"
If you wanted control over the output filename, you would do
mp4box -raw 2 video.mp4 -out audio.aac
If you wanted to remux back into mp4 container (i.e. for iTunes) you could do:
mp4box -single 2 video.mp4 -out audio.m4a
You could then put this in a batch script to operate over all the files in a directory:
for %%f in ("*.mp4") do (
mp4box -single 2 "%%f" -out "%%~nf.m4a"
)
(batch script inspired by videohelp and stackoverflow)

Here’s the actual commands to use since all the provided links don’t actually give them, and anyway: links rot and die so should always be replaced with actual answers on stackexchange.
avconv -i input.mp4 -vn -c:a copy output.m4a
FFmpeg can do it. Here is a list of commands that might come useful for you. Go here for instructions.
Example:
ffmpeg -i INPUT.mp4 -c copy -map 0:a:0 Output.aac
-i
: input file-c copy
: copies the bitstreams without re-encoding-map 0:a:0
: selects track from: 1st input file -> audio tracks -> first track (1st audio track from 1st input file)
Note that it would work similarly with avconv
, which is a fork of ffmpeg
.
