Comment by sunji 169 weeks and 5 days ago

didn't work with a .mp4 file. ffmpeg didn't work either. i did get the audio from the .flv file.

can i maybe use a different option with mplayer?

ffmpeg failed to recognize the format.

i usually include the bitrate and sample rate with ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i <input.flv> -ab 128000 -ar 44100 <output.mp3>

i can extract from flv but not mp4

thanks

with ffmpeg, use

-acodec copy -vn

instead of

-ab 128000 -ar 44100

so you dont degrade the quality
