Another Linux Trick

I swear, everything is easier in Linux, you just have to work a little harder to find the answers (although in this case I found the answer immediately!)

Simple solution for what sounds like a more difficult task - extract audio only from an .flv video file. (Which is downloaded simply using a Firefox add-on tool).

ffmpeg -i GrapeFall.flv -f mp3 -vn -acodec copy grapes.mp3

I haven't taken a look at the man (help) page for this to breakdown the command into its specific parts, but it is obvious that my input file is GrapeFall.flv and my output file is grapes.mp3. I used this to create a funny sound file from this YouTube Video. The moaning is now my ringtone, and the whole process took less than 3 minutes.

You really have to try this................
