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.
Hope this helps,
Philipp
