[Command] Extract audio from a video

Open sesh opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Love this! A command suggestion:

I find myself using ffmpeg to get the audio track from a video fairly often (for transcription, or to create an audio-only podcast from a video), etc.

ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -q:a 0 -map a out.mp3

(via https://superuser.com/questions/332347/how-can-i-convert-mp4-video-to-mp3-audio-with-ffmpeg)

It looks like you can already do this with audio to mp3.

Thanks! Good suggestion.

It looks like you can already do this with audio to mp3.

We should probably make it more clear/better show up in search though.

Ah, of course, that "audio to mp3" doesn't care about the input format! Just a search problem, I guess (or a me problem!).

I'm of the opinion that if it happened to anyone, it's likely a UX problem worth solving for!
