Faster than realtime encoding tracker music to WAV

[mediaio]

Hello,

I'd like to convert some tracker music to WAV using VLC.

Here's what I've come up with so far

Code: Select all

cvlc -vvv --no-plugins-cache --no-media-library --aout aout_file --ignore-config --no-video --no-sout-video --play-and-exit --audiofile-format s16_le --audiofile-channels 2 --audiofile-file foo.wav --audiofile-wav ~/Downloads/Elements/Audio/Drum\ N\ Bass/Dynamix\ -\ Frontal\ Outbreak.xm

This works but it's only realtime. I'd like the conversion to go as fast as possible.

Is this possible?

Thanks

You need to use the stream output, not the audio output then.

Thanks Rémi, can you tell me how?

I tried

Code: Select all

time cvlc -vvv --no-plugins-cache --no-media-library --sout-transcode-aenc aout_file --sout-transcode-acodec wav --sout-transcode-channels 2 --sout-transcode-samplerate 44100 --ignore-config --no-video --no-sout-video --play-and-exit ~/Downloads/Elements/Audio/Drum\ N\ Bass/Dynamix\ -\ Frontal\ Outbreak.xm

but that didn't work --just played the track.

Remi,

I think I got it to work thanks to this. Here's what I have:

Code: Select all

cvlc --no-plugins-cache --no-media-library --ignore-config --no-video --no-sout-video --play-and-exit --sout '#std{access=file,dst=rofl/copter.wav} file/mod://fnuh.xm

I might need some more tweaks but I guess I'll figure them out.

Thanks for your help.

FYI: For VLC 0.8.6h Janus which I have to use on the media.io audio converter, this looks like this

Code: Select all

vlc -q -I dummy --no-plugins-cache --no-video --no-sout-video --sout '#std{access=file,dst=keks/blub.wav} file/mod://fnuh.mod vlc:quit
