Extract audio from .wmv
 

i tried mencoder but didn't suceed... could somebody help me?

You should have gone into more detail about how exactly you failed, commands you used, etc.. However, google spits out several links when being asked for "mencoder wma to wav", so how about this one?
mencoder -ao pcm -aofile /your/wave.wav /your/wmafile.wma

Of course you need the wmv codecs installed on your system.


HTH

i'm trying to single out the audio file from a .WMV video file, not .wma ;)

Try the followwing :

it might create a file called file.mp3 in the current directory

S.

mplayer -ao pcm -aofile /your/wave.wav /your/wmafile.wmv -vc dummy -vo null

The "vc" and "vo" turn off video so it gets done faster.

aaa with that command i get this:
-aofile is deprecated. Use -ao pcm:file=<filename> instead.

So ... Use this command ... what's the matter ?

doesn't work either. says ao is not a mencoder option :-/

No but it's a mplayer option ...

Here is how I would exract audio from a .wmv using mplayer and then convert to .mp3 using lame:

mplayer -cache 128 -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm -aofile ~/raw.pcm ~/movie.wmv

lame raw.pcm movie_audio.mp3

oops... indeed.

this finally worked:
mplayer -ao pcm:file=1.wav file.wmv -vc dummy -vo null

thnx everyone for the replies :)
