I want to extract sound from a youtube video (I dont care about the video part, only sound). I did $ ffmpeg -i /dev/dsp -o /tmp/song.mp3 However that does not seem to work because I do not know how to tell ffmpeg that the video has finished and give me the output. If I press ctrl-c, the command gets killed. ctrl-d does not seem to have any effect. thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/
