Help VLC command line to convert audio

[bcosta]

Hi all,

Would one of you VLC guru's be willing to help me out with a vlc command line to convert my audio files?

--- details ---
I am trying to convert one specific type of audio file that heaps of programs are having difficulty playing (MP3 compressed audio stream saved into a WAVE container) into another normal MP3 container.

I can do this in the VLC GUI (On Windows, but assume it is similar on other OS'es thus in the General forum) using:

Menu: Media->Convert Save
Add my source file
Click: Convert Save->Convert
Select my destination file: blah.mp3
Select the profile: Profile -> Audio - MP3
Click "Edit Selected Profile"
On the Audio Codec page select "Keep original audio track"
Then Start

This converts exactly as I am expecting it to. What command line could I use to do this same task from a script?

I have tried a lot of different programs and it seems that VLC is so far the only one that has been able to do what I want (Not even SoX or mencoder). I now need to do this for lots of files and so want to script it on the command line. I have read the command line vlc -H but had trouble figuring out top from tail of that and also read a few posts of people offering command lines to convert various videos but nothing the same as what I am trying to do.

Would one of you VLC gurus be willing to help me out with this command line?

Thanks,
Brendon.

Click "Stream" instead of "Convert". Then you will see final output string at the end of configuration process.
