How to get MP3 file from a WebM video

Reading time: < 1 minute Another title for this post could be: "Getting audio from video clips". Because you could do it with MP4 (Mpeg4), WebM, Mov, FLV, etc. We are going to use ffmpeg to that:

ffmpeg -i input_file.webm -ab 128k -ar 44100 out_file.mp3

The meaning of the parameters:

  • ab: the audio bitrate in bps
  • ar: the audio sample rate in hz

And if you have a directory with a lot of files to convert you could use:

find . -name "*.webm" -print0 |while read -d $'\0' file; do ffmpeg -i "$file" -ab 128k -ar 44100 -y "${file%.webm}.mp3";done

Pay attention to “find” and “while read” commands combinations because we want to support files with spaces.

I hope this is as useful for you as for me.

flv2avi: convertint flash video a Divx/XVid

Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes

No em feu dir d’on he tret aquest script perquè ja no ho recordo, però és realment útil. Usa l’mencoder del mplayer i ens permet convertir arxius de flash video (.flv) a arxius en format Divx o XVid.

L’script:

#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 {-divx|-xvid} list_of_flv_files"
exit 1
fi
# video encoding bit rate
V_BITRATE=1000
while [ "$1" ]; do
case "$1" in
-divx)
MENC_OPTS="-ovc lavc -lavcopts \
vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=$V_BITRATE:mbd=2:v4mv:autoaspect"
;;
-xvid)
MENC_OPTS="-ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=$V_BITRATE:autoaspect"
;;
*)
if file "$1" | grep -q "Macromedia Flash Video"; then
mencoder "$1" $MENC_OPTS -vf pp=lb -oac mp3lame \
-lameopts fast:preset=standard -o \
"`basename $1 .flv`.avi"
else
echo "$1 is not Flash Video. Skipping"
fi
;;
esac
shift
done
