Were you looking for frame 46,000 perhaps?
Well, I've been doing some research on this ... 1) Trying to use mencoder on any sort of audio-only file segfaults, whether it's an mp3 or my stream.dump file. 2) A quick Google search reveals that this is "known behavior", more or less--mencoder can look at a video file and save the audio from it; mplayer can play audio files with no problems; but mencoder _cannot_ "play" [i.e. copy] audio files. 3) 46,000 is actually indeed what I want. I have a few days of audio I've dumped off an Internet radio station, and all I want is to clip thirty-second chunks from the streamdump into some other format. Using "file" on the streamdump tells me it's "Microsoft ASF". So now my question is, if mencoder can't handle audio files, does there exist a program that will allow me to extract chunks out of the ASF and then convert into wav/mp3/ogg whatever? I figured out a while back how to convert ASF to wav files, but I'd really rather not do that with a 280M ASF ... that could get rather big. Any suggestions anybody? ~ross -- This sentence would be seven words long if it were six words shorter. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
