rip audio from video file

[rooster64]

VLC media player 2.0.3 Twoflower (revision 2.0.2-93-g77aa89e)

I'm attempting to rip the audio from some Video files located in my Music Directory. I don't know any reason why I would need to convert (transcode?) into different formats.
Searching this forum, the closest command I could find is:

Code: Select all

vlc --no-sout-video dvdsimple:///dev/scd0@1:1 :sout='#std{access=file,mux=raw,dst=./file.ac3}'

A target file is located at:

Code: Select all

/home/rooster/Music/CLASSICAL/Aram Khachaturian Gayane Ballet Suite Adagio.mp4

I tried the following but got error messages.

Code: Select all

vlc –no-sout-video /home/rooster/Music/CLASSICAL/Aram Khachaturian Gayane Ballet Suite Adagio.mp4@1:1 :sout='#std{access=file,mux=raw,dst=./file.ac3}'

Can someone show me how to enter the correct command?

Seems as though you have seen this?
I googled:
linux vlc audio only

Hi, not64;

Yes. It's about 1 SD savvy-wise over my head. I did the best I could to apply it.

Error Message

Code: Select all

~$ vlc –no-sout-video /home/rooster/Music/CLASSICAL/Aram Khachaturian Gayane Ballet Suite Adagio.mp4@1:1 :sout='#std{access=file,mux=raw,dst=./file.ac3}' VLC media player 2.0.3 Twoflower (revision 2.0.2-93-g77aa89e) [0x9a048f0] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. [0x9a3fb18] filesystem access error: cannot open file /home/rooster/Ballet (No such file or directory)

Notice the error message does not reprint the file location in the command line exactly.

/home/rooster/Music/CLASSICAL/Aram Khachaturian Gayane Ballet Suite Adagio.mp4

versus:

/home/rooster/Ballet

I don't know how to evaluate this discrepancy.
