Hi all,
I would like to watch a video DVD with totem and
send the audio to a file instead of the sound
system (that is, capture the DVD audio as
it flows).
Could someone point me to the right direction?
I tried adding a
.asoundrc
file to my homedir, containing
pcm.fileout {
type file
slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
file alsaout.raw
}
but can't figure out how to actually activate
"fileout".
My installation is ubuntustudio (gutsy, i686) with
totem-xinelib.
I picked ALSA for "Music and Movies > SOund playback"
in System > Preferences > Audio (=gnome-sound-properties)
The soundcard selected in QAMix is "VIA8237 (hw:0)"
Thanks all in advance,
Johannes
I think it's relatively easy to dump the audio of a video to file using
mplayer, I don't know if this works for DVDs. I also don't know if it
works using xine, but I'd guess so.
I just did it tonight using mplayer to turn two DVD tracks into audio.
Don't know about Xine, but it respects copyrights and might refuse to
rip something it thinks is copyrighted.
