How to generate a 8 bit per sample wav audio file in VLC
- by Ahmed safan
I'm using the following vlc command line to extract first 5 minutes of audio from video file
"-I dummy -vvv --no-sout-video --sout-audio --no-sout-rtp-sap --no-sout-standard-sap --ttl=1 --sout-transcode-threads=5 --sout-transcode-high-priority --sout-keep --sout #transcode{acodec=s16l,channels=1,samplerate=8000,ab=64}:std{mux=wav,access=file,dst="c:\dest.wav"} "c:\originalvideo.mpg" --start-time=0 --stop-time=300 vlc://quit";
if ab=64 =64 k bits per second
and samples per second=8 k samples then bits per sample=64/8=8 bits per sample
but the problem is that the output file always has samples of 16 bits per sample. I know that sample can contain bits from 8 , 16, 24 to 32 bits per sample. i want to get 8 bits per sample file how can this be done ?
