convert audio in batch mode.....

[bolador]

Hi it shoul be easy but i cant find an easy and automatic way to to do this.

I have more than 100 avi files captured from tv with audio as PCM and I want to convert them to mp3 leaving the video untouched.
I tried virtualdub and it does a great job but the batch mode is not very useful as you have to open every file and give an output name to each, and I have more than 100 files!!!!!.

It would be great some soft were you just tag all files and then convert them..

thanks

FulciLives will probably help you make a batch file for just that. . Private message him or read his posts, http://forum.videohelp.com/search.ph...hor=FulciLives

One way of doing it would probably be to set up a loop in a batchfile, and call the command-line versions of AVI2WAV (to extract the audio stream of an AVI to a WAV file) and LAME (to encode the resulting WAV to MP3) for each file, in order. That wouldn't insert any ID3 tag info, of course, if you were looking for that.

Naturally, I'm sure there's a much more direct way of doing it, probably with mencoder.

See Below. Sorry. Got an error message as I was posting.

Try my AVI_GAIN script, found at

http://forum.videohelp.com/topic314909.html

Use Avi_Gain_regular.bat

It will convert them all to 224kbs LAME processed CBR MP3s, muxed back into the AVI

Thanks for answering
Ai Haibara: I guess thata will get me the mp3 files but i want the avi files..

Soopafresh: I´ll see to that,,, any way to change the bitrate? editing the batch I guess,,

thenks again,,

Yeah, of course. Open Avi_Gain_Regular.bat in notepad. Look for the line that says

lame x-gain.wav -b 224 --cbr -F -m s -h --noreplaygain a-norm.mp3

That's the part I wasn't sure about. The original post made it sound somewhat like you were wanting stand-alone MP3s.

I also wasn't sure, offhand, what I could suggest to remux the MP3 back into the AVI (if there were any command-line utilities that would fit into the oddball method I suggested. )
