Convert Video Files to MP3

A quick word on how to convert a video to MP3. Here’s how I did it.

1

ffmpeg -i file_to_convert.flv -f mp3 -ab 192000 -vn new_file.mp3

Obviously, you need to have ffmpeg installed on your system. The options I passed on that line are:

• -i: input file
• -f: output format
• -ab: MP3 bitrate (192 kbps in this case)
• -vn: do not capture video

Simple and fast. Try it out and see for yourself ;) And naturally, if you use this command or manage to improve it somehow, let me know.
