I used the MEncoder executable from the MPlayer package here: http://www.mplayerhq.hu
The command line that I used is similar to: mencoder.exe somefile.flv -of rawaudio -oac mp3lame -ovc copy -o somefile.mp3
I could tweak the MP3 settings if you'd like (bitrate/cbr/vbr) but I was trying to make this as simple as possible for your sister. About the only other thing I can think to add would be to handle multiple files dropped on the executable (it only handles one for now). Let me know what you want...-skwire (November 24, 2009, 09:11 AM)
The only small thing i could think of would be some sort of message popping up when it was finished - as it works unseen in the background, but hell, people shouldnt fall asleep! they can easily see the extra file appear!-delwoode (November 24, 2009, 10:02 AM)

Hmmmm....I did use a tooltip to show that the app is processing the file and when it's done. Do you not get the tooltip?-skwire (November 24, 2009, 10:23 AM)
I run Blackbox as well and see the tooltips just fine. :huh: It should show up right at your mouse cursor.-skwire (November 24, 2009, 04:13 PM)

That's something I would like.-app103 (May 01, 2010, 10:11 AM)
I can add mp4 output capabilities to Video2MP3. Maybe we'll have to call it Video2MP#. =]

You own video2mp3.net? About the ipod it seems mine will not work with the Mp3. Only Mp4. Strange-skwire (July 06, 2010, 12:50 AM)

No, I don't own http://video2mp3.net. I wrote a standalone application (that has the same name) that you can get here:

C:\TEMP>Video2MP3.exe some.avi
1) Drag & drop a video file or files onto this executable file.
Seems like it was a good bet as that worked here.-ewemoa (April 30, 2011, 01:12 AM)
Oh! Ive been using this for a few years now, thank you!-apogee22 (June 01, 2011, 04:12 PM)
I have version 1.0.0.1 on the box now. Now do I understand that this is a repackaged mencoder.exe? Also I have always been surprised that the output bitrate is not adjustable and is not discussed or mentioned, not here in the thread or in the package. Does it copy the bitrate from the source? Maybe this could appear in config.ini. Sorry if I've missed something.-apogee22 (June 01, 2011, 04:12 PM)
this app didn't even have an INI file.
May I ask if you can add one so that we're able to overwrite the default value of 160kbit or as an alternative to add it to the cli syntax (e.g. "-bitrate 192")-highend01 (November 06, 2011, 07:33 PM)
Ok, thanks. That's helpful. The reason I asked is because when searching for converter software and narrowing down the field to the ones I want to try, the versatile ones are more attractive. I didn't see anything mentioned here.-Scott_Y (April 08, 2013, 03:31 PM)
... Mine works the way it does because it was specifically requested to by the original poster. In other words, I wasn't trying to compete with any of the others out there...just fulfilling a request. If you're looking for options and such, you'd definitely be better off using a different application. If you're looking for something that will quickly create a throw-away type of audio track, this might fit the bill. =]Ah, yes ... sure enough, that's basically what it says in the OP. Heh, I didn't take that into account :-[ Even so, the question of input formats was still open. But universality could be reasonably assumed given the no-brains, no-fuss goal of the program.-skwire (April 08, 2013, 03:49 PM)

can I use it to save the video and discard the audio?-whippy (February 02, 2014, 01:57 AM)
Uhhhh...anything that mEncoder can process? :D I've tested with FLV, MP4, AVI, and MKV. Feel free to try whatever, though.-skwire (April 04, 2013, 04:24 PM)

A interface. Any interface.-stisev (June 25, 2015, 03:15 AM)
A interface. Any interface. A blank page that says "drag video here" is even better than nothing. Dragging a video into the application icon is really a cumbersome and time consuming for people like me who use FARR or shortcuts. One workaround I have come up with is to put video2mp3 into my sendto menu and send videos that way, but a drag-n-drop window would be great ^_^-stisev (June 25, 2015, 03:15 AM)
