    Convert .avi video file to audio file.

    I have some .avi videos that I want to convert to sound files without the video preferably mp3 so I can listen to them while driving. Is there a program that will do that? If not a program that will convert it directly maybe an audio recording program that will record the audio while I play the avi.

    Check out mplayer with -dumpaudio option.

      With the Hyper Video Converter
      Description:
      Hello,

      this is a frontend for ffmpeg I have made because I wanted something, that let's me quickly convert videos from konqueror without typing 3-line-commands in the console.

      Dolphin/Konqueror > Right click .avi file > Actions > convert with Hyper
      Hyper Converter pops up > Choose ouput file (audio.mp3) > Profiles > extract-audio-as-mp3 > load profile > Create Command:
      ffmpeg -i "/media/sdb4/80/Example.avi" -f mp3 -vn -acodec mp3 -ab 128k -ar 44100 "/home/rog131/tmp/audio.mp3"
      Pressing Go > Checking /home/rog131/tmp/audio.mp3

        I believe you can extract audio using Kdenlive as well

          I just tried Kdenlive and it does strip the audio but turns it into a huge wav file and the sound is choppy. Anyone know how to get it to make an mp3?

            You could convert it again from wav to mp3 (eg. with soundKonverter) but this obviously wouldn't help with the choppiness.
