Please bring back the "Dummy" codec option

Postby Dwedit » 28 Jan 2009 04:47

In previous versions of VLC, you could extract the MP3 stream from a flash video by writing the audio to a WAV container using the Dummy codec, then chop off the WAV header with a hex editor. You'd have the original MP3 track from the flash video.
But in the current version, you must transcode the audio. I'd rather have the ability to use the original MP3 stream, so please reinstate that feature.
