Recently I’ve run across a realmedia stream that I really want to convert to mp3 (mainly because my portable player can’t read rm files. I’ll talk about capturing rm streams in another post, but this one is going to talk about converting from rm to mp3.
For starters, it’s possible to use mencoder for this as follows:
One of the slickest video editing tools I’ve used in linux is kino. The only problem is that it’s geared towards dv files which comes straight from a camcorder (using the dv format.) Most of my video clips are in mpg format…. so there are ways to get it converted… here’s one such suggestion….
ffmpeg -i some.mpeg -s PAL -r PAL -ar 48000 -ac 2 out.dv
of course, you may want to adjust the format (PAL/NTSC) according to your situation.
