How about something real simple?
The following is a little text file that I keep just for when my children need me to do some
converting:
To Convert .flv to .mp3 using ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i name_of_video_clip.flv -vn name_of_file.mp3
examples:
ffmpeg -i Mary_Mary_-_I_Get_Joy.flv -vn Mary_Mary_-_I_Get_Joy.mp3
ffmpeg -i Mary_Mary_-_I_Get_Joy.flv -vn Mary_Mary_-_I_Get_Joy.mp3
Fill in the Blanks:
ffmpeg -i .flv -vn .mp3
Batch Converting:
for i in *.flv; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -vn "${i%flv}mp3"; done
then:
mv *mp3 ~/Music/Mp3s [or which_ever_path_to_dir]
It is simple to change formats -- just substitute them for what you need - ffmpeg takes care of
the rest.
So for .wma to .mp3 :
ffmpeg -i name_of_file.wma name_of_file.mp3
or batch processing:
for i in *.wma; do ffmpeg -i "$i" "${i%wma}mp3"; done
HTH,
Nigel
