It's possible used MEncoder? I'm don't know. I'm can't see option to disable video and convert only audio (without video container).

But...
You can use FFmpeg.

Simply examples:

ffmpeg -i name_file.aac -vn -acodec libmp3lame name_file.mp3

or

ffmpeg -i name_file.aac -vn -acodec libmp3lame -aq 6 name_file.mp3

or

ffmpeg -i name_file.aac -vn -acodec libmp3lame -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 128000 name_file.mp3

Thanks, I know about ffmpeg, I just dont want to depend on ffmpeg only for that.

Hopefully there is a way to get a simple mp3 with mencoder.

I think WinFF will do what you want ... I used it to convert a downloaded FLASH VIDEO from YOUTUBE.COM to a WAV file. As I recall it gave me just that ... a WAV file and nothing else. Can do the same but with MP3. No need to have it also do the video if all you want is the audio.

WinFF can do a lot ... it uses ffmpeg of course.

I need mencoder/mplayer for that, under linux

I use it from command line with php on a video share site.

I also use Linux ... WinFF is available for Linux as well as Windows. When I used WinFF I used it under Linux. I think you will find that it will do what you want.

The WinFF website has pre-compiled downloads for Debian/Ubuntu and Redhat versions of Linux. Other versions ... I don't know. I've used it under Linux Mint 4.0 as well as openSUSE 10.3 with success.
