QuickTime used to be able to export audio extractions (from a movie) into .AIFF file format. Extracting audio these days is pretty easy, but is there a way to make the newer versions of QT Player (V10.15 and later) give you an export option?
Mac Pro, macOS 10.15
ffmpeg export is much faster when video is ignored with -vn option.
For example, movie to .aif audio (pcm_s16le little-endian):
ffmpeg -i movie.mp4 -vn -c:a pcm_s16le audio.aif
ffmpeg export is much faster when video is ignored with -vn option.
For example, movie to .aif audio (pcm_s16le little-endian):
ffmpeg -i movie.mp4 -vn -c:a pcm_s16le audio.aif
Maybe you could use Music.app to import as AIFF and then use that?
I tried Music.app AIFF import but it treats .mp4 as a music video and does not convert it to AIFF.
But ffmpeg can convert movie to .aif audio (pcm_s16be big-endian by default):
ffmpeg -i movie.mp4 audio.aif
Shutter Encoder has a GUI for that:

I forgot to mention that I also have Pro Tools installed as a DAW on this Mac Pro, but trying to bring in this audio file as a converted sample (from M4a to .wav) only brought this otherwise robust application to its knees.
Hello Matt,
This sounds like a decent workaround - I will give it a try.
Thank you for your response.
