FFMPEG extract audio from video with an annoying sound at the end

I'm using FFMPEG to Extract audio from an *.avi video file
This is the avi file format printed with ffprobe

I used ffmpeg command:

ffmpeg -i 0.avi -vn -c:a copy sound0.wav

Convert progress looks ok

Everything looks ok, but an annoying sounds (just a beep or something like that) comes to end at the audio output file while the input video is fine.

I don't have base knowledge working with Multimedia or ffmpeg, so I have no idea what happened.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Seems the stream copy is copying the entire stream, including the part which extends past the video duration.

Try

ffmpeg -i 0.avi -vn -c:a copy -t 02:54.33 sound0.wav

Answer 2

Maybe that happens because of codec problems. The option -c:a copy copies Audio codec.

use ffmpeg -i 0.avi -c:a libmp3lame sound0.mp3 for encoding your audio to mp3 format.
