Nice methods IceCream, I like the cut of your jib....

I want to follow your method and make my own j dorama deck, but they don't have AoA for OS X -

Any one know an equivalent, key word being free?

ffmpeg?

You can extract audio from a file using ffmpeg, like this:

Code:

>> ffmpeg -i input_file.mp4 -ab 192kb output_file.mp3

Yeah I saw some free programs, but I like to get a recommendation from someone who's used a good trusty one - I hate downloading programs blindly. Have done it before to my woe...

Ok - Uh, thanks bombpersons, but I'm about as computer savvy as bowl of grapenuts...

Is this more simple than it sounds? I see code type stuff, and get that deer in the head lights feeling (I often get it reading this forum...).

I saw the site, and more technical jibberjabber...do I type codes while a movie's playing to make it work? Sounds a bit involved maybe. Sorry, I'm just basically a lazy dumb bastard when it comes to computers - If this won't involve having to read and learn a bunch of stuff, I'm down (sounds so bad - but it's the truth)...

I used to use audacity to rip stuff while I played it live...on the old PC. I can't get my mac to record from "inside"...it only will record from the external speakers, and that sounds like total shit...Again probably an over site with some easy solution, but I haven't figured it out...

I haven't gotten around to sentence mining yet but If you guys need to fix poorly timed subs/captions, you might wanna learn how to use Aeigisub. You can also use Aeigisub to create an audio clip on a single subtitle line. (It makes a .wav but it's easy to convert that back to .mp3 with quite a few programs.) And you can also make screencaps with it. Sounds like it would be less of a pain then using something like audacity to capture audio bits.

It's just a shame that the OSX version of Aeigisub is a buggy pre-alpha.

ffmpeg?

You can extract audio from a file using ffmpeg, like this:

Code:

>> ffmpeg -i input_file.mp4 -ab 192kb output_file.mp3

ffmpeg rocks, but that's actually not how you extract audio, that's how you transcode the video into audio.

The correct way to extract audio is:
ffmpeg -i bd.flv -vn -acodec copy bd.mp3

Of course, this assumes that bd.flv contains mp3 audio.

I've Handbrake before. It's used for converting video to a different format (for example wmv to avi). It's the best program of its kind.

Ok - I actually already have it (handbrake). I've used it to put movies on the ipod - I'll check it out.

Do you make one audio file of the whole avi. and then mine from audacity? I'm guessing that's how it's done.

Any opinions on doing it manually vs. subs2srs. I've avoided looking into it because I'm timid with the technical aspects, and I know I could do IceCream's method without too much hassle.
