Re: [LAU] Getting the audio track from DVDs

Hello! I always use mplayer for that: mplayer -vo null -dumpaudio -dumpfile output.mp3 intput.vob works like a treat. Maybe you could even use mencoder or ppossibly the ffmpeg utility or whatever it was they suggested at the time for extracting audi from youtube. If you want a different format than mp3, something like this might do the trick: mplayer -ao pcm:file=tmp.wav -vo null input.vob And then encode the tmp.wav to whatever you like. It's also easily scriptable. You will only get seperate songs out of that, if they are stored in seperate .vob-files. I have written a script to trim recordings from radio. With a slight adjustment that script will work for videos as well. It relies on you listening to / skipping through the input and marking times. It uses ecasound to do the trimming. Hope that helps. ciao Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html
