I am extracting the audio (for ogg encoding) from an avi file. The relevant commands are: > mkfifo audio.wav > nice -n 10 oggenc -q 6 audio.wav -o audio.ogg & > nice -n 10 mplayer test.avi -vc null -vo null -nocache -ao pcm:fast:file=audio.wav >/dev/null 2>&1 However, when the wav file (not explicitly created) gets larger than 2GB I get a truncation. Indeed if I do just: nice -n 10 mplayer test.avi -vc null -vo null -nocache -ao pcm:fast:file=audio.wav I see that the wav file is over 2GB, and mplayer says: File larger than allowed for WAV files, may play truncated! So I thought can switch to raw files by using nowaveheader. However, that appears to run slow and the result is mangled audio (it sounds slowed down). I hoped that someone here can suggest a solution to either overcome the 2GB limit or with the right parms when generating raw files. Thanks, Matyas - Every hardware eventually breaks. Every software eventually works. _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
