The following is a step by step process for extracting/down-sampling the audio portion of your video with Premiere in preparation for Clipstream™ Video encoding . Although not always essential, audio quality results may be better after down-sampling. This process can also be performed with another audio program such as Syntrillium's Cool Edit.

As with all Clipstream™ Video encoding, take note of the source file properties. (right click on the opened movie in Premiere and select 'Get Properties')
Watch for:
- QDesign Music 2
- 48kHz sampling rate

Upon seeing 'Compressor = QDesign Music 2', down sampling must be performed if you're using Premiere 5.xx. Take note of the sampling rate. (example: 44kHz, 16 bit stereo) Also, because of a bug in Premiere, if the Sampling rate is 48kHz down-sampling prior to encoding is necessary.

Go to File>Export>Audio, click on the Settings tab.
Under General Settings, Select from the pull down menu, File Type: Windows Wave Form.
'Open When Finished' is a default setting and will be useful in this case. The Range should be 'Entire Clip'.
Go to Audio Settings. Rate and Format should coincide with those listed in the source file Properties. (example: 44kHz, 16 bit stereo)
Click 'OK' and Save to a desired location.
File>Open the new wav file if 'Open When Finished' was not enabled.
Go to File>Export>Audio and click the Settings tab.
Go to Audio Settings and select 8kHz 16bit Mono
Click 'Okay' and save the new wav file with a new name.
File>Open the down-sampled file. If the source movie isn't still opened, open it as well.
Go to File>New->Project. Click okay in the dialogue box. Go to Window/Timeline.
Drag the video into the timeline (Video 1A). Select Audio 1 and delete it from the project. Drag the new, downsampled audio into its place (Audio 1)
Ensure the Timeline is selected, Go to File>Export/Movie and carry on as per usual for Clipstream™ Video encoding.
