convert wma to wav

[hatsoff]

I was able to successfully "dumpstream" via mplayer to extract wma audio from wmv video. However, now I need to get wma to wav format.

All the instructions on the net seem to use ffmpeg, but ffmpeg gives me an error:

"ffmpeg: command not found"

I have tried a bunch of different ways, following various instructions on the net, to install ffmpeg, but I always get the same "command not found" error.

Is there a way to do this without ffmpeg?

Thanks!

ffmpeg is now libavutil52. I just opened a .wma file with Audacity, and exported it as a .wav file. Might give that a try.

"ffmpeg: command not found"

Try "avconv" instead of ffmpeg. Params are the same (pretty sure).

Or audacity. Or avidemux.

You can get WAV soundtrack straight from the original...

Code: Select all

mplayer -novideo -ao pcm movie-airplane.mpg
