Sometimes you got video files about music that we love. maybe just video clip , live performance, acoustic version, or whatever. I don't know where you get it, rip from dvd, download from
Youtube, etc, i don't even care.. :D:D (just kidding)
and i just wanna share how to convert that video into audio format (in UBuntu). maybe all of you had known how to do this, but like i said, i don't even care..
one of tools/software to do this is
FFMPEG.
first open your console and you've got to install (doh)
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
after installation success, now we begin to convert
you can get information about video files by type
ffmpeg -i VideoFiles.FormatVideo
and to convert to audio file just type
ffmpeg -i VideoFiles.FormatVideo AudioFiles.FormatAudio
actually ffmpeg can be used to convert many format video/audio, but here i just give some option that work for audio
-ab
: Set the audio bitrate in bit/s (default = 64k).
-ar
: Set the audio sampling frequency (default = 44100 Hz).
-ac
: Set the number of audio channels (default = 1).
and many more :D:D
so in example, if you want to convert flv files into audio with format mp3 , bitrate 128 kbps , sampling 44100 Hz , and channel stereo
ffmpeg -i VideoFiles.flv -ab 128k -ar 44100 -ac 2 AudioFiles.mp3
pretty simple isn't it??
for more option just read manual for yourself (
FFmpeg Documentation )
enjoy convert.....
