Separating audio from a .flv file

Postby tite trax » 13 May 2013 11:28

Is it possible to separate the audio from a .flv file leaving a .mp3 or .mp4 in VLC? I'm trying to put the audio from a YouTube video on my iPod. I searched high and low but I cannot find a definitive answer to my question. Thanks for your time.

Yes, but this is not very simple to do. Try to use the convert function with only the mp3 (audio only)

It would be easier and faster to use FFmpeg:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i input.flv -vn -acodec copy output.mp4
Use output.mp4 or output.mp3 depending on the audio stream codec.
