Hi,
Downloaded and installed fine, Win XP Pro sp3.

Seems to do the job well enough but at $30 it seems expensive for a one function program. There are many programs avlable for free which will do this and more, Format Factory for example.

I read with interest Mikes post #2

I too tried to find "Power Audio Extractor" on a few of the 'award' sites. This screen shot shows the search result on freewarefiles.com, this is the site which apparently hailed this as 'Editor's pick' with a really impressive logo.. Here's the screen shot!
http://my.jetscreenshot.com/demo/20100101-ds8s-128kb
Two thirds down the image it states 'Search yielded zero results'.

On one of the site's which PowerSE claims to have 5 stars actually has the product rated at 5/5. Very impressive, until one notices that only three people have actually rated it, all funnily enough at maximum rating yet somehow in their eagerness they forgot to write a quick review. Hardly reason to claim 'The best thing since sliced bread'.

Summary.
Plus..
Does what it says it will do.

Minus..
Well overpriced. 'Format Factory' and 'Super' from erightsoft are both free and do so much more.
The self glorifying awards webpage needs a little more thought put into it, ie, don't make false claims, it puts people right off.

It does what it says but it's not for me.
Happy New Year, Andy

As usual with any software offering, read through all the awards a product has won. That way, you can be sure you're installing a reliable product from an honest and respectable source.

This developer's web page features many, many awards for its Power Sound Editor product range.

The awards from highly reputable sites such as MajorGeeks and Nonags are pretty impressive.

Even though I can't find them.

But they must be true. Surely.

Great software. Installed with Windows 7 64bit without a problem.

Not a whole bunch of bells and whistles, but it does the job quickly and accurately. The GUI is a little strange. (it appears to be off center on my screen, or maybe I had too much Eggnog.)

It is a great addition to the multimedia tool kit.

Thanks GAOTD and Happy New Year to all !

I took a look at Power Audio Extractor & was surprised -- it's very fast & looks like it should be pretty useful working with video files for trans-coding the audio.

1st, in case I sound overly optimistic, the downsides...
The program window doesn't display well if you've got Windows set to a larger font size. 2nd, there are very few output options, & what's there is not customizable. 3rd, while it'll happily accept a VOB file from a DVD, if there is more than 1 audio track present, it grabs the 1st one -- no choice. 4th, at least in the case of AC3 audio, which I used for my quick testing, Power Audio Extractor can add its own filtering, including setting levels [volume].

The pros... It's very fast, & while it's an audio format converter, it'll accept video files, which sometimes can save you the step of de-muxing [i.e. separating the audio & video parts]... I say "sometimes" because you often have to de-mux them anyway. Power Audio Extractor is also extremely simple & easy to use -- with a wizard sort of interface, there's none of the potential confusion found in many more powerful conversion apps.
