Extracting Audio/Video
by Mostafa on Dec.01, 2007, under How To ..., Linux, Software
It’s really easy to extract either audio or video from a multimedia file using ‘ffmpeg‘. To extract audio only:
$ ffmpeg -i inputfile -vn -acodec copy outputfile
And for video only, replace ‘-vn‘ with ‘-an‘ and ‘-acodec‘ with ‘-vcodec‘.
ffmpeg is also commonly used as a transcoding tool.
