There's a good chance that the audio stream in the flv is already encoded as MP3. If you have mplayer, try this: mplayer --dumpaudio video.flv --dumpfile audio.mp3 Then do this: file audio.mp3 It doesn't come back with something like "OH YAH THAT'S TOTES AN MP3, BRO", then you can use ffmpeg like this (the reason I didn't suggest it initially is because this will reencode the audio stream, resulting in a lower quality rip). ffmpeg -i video.flv audio.mp3 source: personal experience, googled "ffmpeg rip audio from flv" On Sat, Aug 18, 2012 at 4:36 PM, Michael Havens wrote: > I know that I need to use ffmpeg to convert the files but I can't figure it > out with the man page.
