video2audio 2023.1.14

Extract audio tracks from A/V files using ffmpeg.

Description

This library uses ffmpeg to extract an audio track from a video file. The audio can also be separated by chapter, if the chapters are annotated in the video.

Installation

$ pip3 install video2audio

The ffmpeg and ffprobe commands must be available on your system (and PATH).

Usage

from video2audio import AVFile

f = AVFile('/path/to/some/movie.mkv')

# Extract the entire audio track as a single mp3:
f.extract_audio('/path/to/some/audio_only.mp3', chapter=None)

# Extract the second, entire audio track as a single mp3:
f.extract_audio('/path/to/some/audio_only_second_stream.mp3', chapter=None, stream=1)

# Extract each chapter to a separate mp3 file:
f.extract_all_chapters_audio('/path/to/chapter/outputs/')

# Extract each chapter to a separate mp3 file, manually naming them:
f.extract_all_chapters_audio(
    '/path/to/chapter/outputs/',
    output_filenames=['ch1_title.mp3', 'ch2_title.mp3', 'ch3_title.mp3']
)

# Extract only chapter number 12 (or 13, using 1-indexing):
chapter_list = f.get_chapters()
f.extract_audio('single_chapter.mp3', chapter=chapter_list[12])

CLI

Extract the second audio track using the command line tool:

$ video2audio -t 1 /path/to/some/movie.mkv /path/to/chapter/outputs/

video2audio -h will explain the other options.
