[gentoo-user] OT: script to make wav fro vob

[gentoo-user] OT: script to make wav fro vob

[Skippy]

Greetings, my scripting skills are non-existent, so I come asking for
help.  :)  I use the following to extract audio from vob files and
write it as wav files:

mplayer filename.vob -ao pcm:waveheader:file=filename.wav -vo null

It would be handy if this could be automated so I could run a bash
script in a directory full of vob files and end up with a set of wav
files with the same file name as the original vob.

If anyone knock out such an animal for me I'd be ever grateful and
praise your name over and over.

Thanks, Skippy

You should really learn bash scripting, it will help you no end...

for i in *.vob; do
   mplayer "${i}" -ao pcm:waveheader:file="${i/.vob/.wav}" -vo null
   done

I'm sure there are 20 ways to do it... Something like this might work:

for a in *.vob; do mplayer $a -ao pcm:waveheader:file=$a.wav -vo null; done

You also may want to look at the -dumpaudio and -dumpfile options of
mplayer if you want the original format audio from your DVD instead of
converting it to WAV files...
