Music & Smokes

Just a small, insignificant photo-project I made. Unplanned and completely on-the-fly. As always, in my amateur approach, I take 30 pictures of the same object. Then I pick 2-5 photos that I’ll use in the final product. Clumsy and time-consuming, I know, but it’s how I do things and what I’m used to.
BTW, the thumbnails are clickable :)

War over Your Mind

TelevisionWhen the first rebels arrive, the ones who dare to disagree, the defensive criticism starts. Very few are able to see through the lies uttered by Radio Ga Ga. The rain of disinformation over Your Mind disables the Free Thinker, and enables the Ignorant Mind. Given enough Sex, Drugs & Rock ‘N’ Roll people are sure to obey. Continue reading

Break Down The Wall

All people in life once or twice comes to a point where they have to move forward, even though their instincts are telling them not to. They have to “Break down the wall” so to speak, that big fat brick wall in front of them, that’s blocking them from moving forward. In other words, you have to swallow your cowardess and JUST DO IT.

How to: Extract Audio From Video Using ffmpeg

So, you want to extract some audio from a video ey? Sure! No problem! You can do just that using ffmpeg, here’s the command string.

In this example, i’ll extract the whole audio track to a mp3 file, with a 320k bit (constant) rate and 44100hz audio rate (high quality mp3):

ffmpeg -i “whatever.format” -vn -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 320k -f mp3 output.mp3

Here’s a short explanation on what every parameter does:

  • -i “input file”
  • -vn “skip the video part”
  • -ac “audio channels”
  • -ar “audio rate”
  • -ab “audio bit-rate
  • -f “file format to use”
  • (the end if the string) “output file”

NOTE: I am not responsible for any copyrighted material (ex, music videos) that get’s converted to audio using this method.
