Hmmm, according to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=448761#14 this is no real core dump (as in "segfault"). mplayer tries to be funny when it saved the received (or to be encoded) file or stream as stream.dump.
In addition to that, the extraction of the audio stream from some video file or stream doesn't seem to be possible yet. Citing from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/faq.html#id2946830 ... Q: How do I encode only sound from a music video? A: It's not possible directly, but you can try this (note the & at the end of mplayer command): mkfifo encode mplayer -ao pcm -aofile encode dvd://1 & lame your_opts encode music.mp3 rm encode This allows you to use any encoder, not only LAME, just replace lame with your favorite audio encoder in the above command. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #448761 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=448761 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542326 Title: core dump when extracting audio from flv file -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
