I'm searching for a convenient way to drop audio from an AVI file (video and audio) upon conversion to MP4. My tool of choice is ffmpeg, which works perfectly fine with the default options: % ffmpeg -i in.avi out.mp4 The quality loss, the "pixelated" and "blocky" output is what I expect, and the result file is small. I just can't find a way to get rid of audio (which I don't need). Reading "man ffmeg" told me about "sinks" which "do nothing", but I'm too stupid to conclude how to use them properly. What I want to have is a converted video with no audio track at all (also smaller file size). Can ffmpeg do this, or do I have to "preprocess" the input file with mencoder somehow? Does anybody know how to proceed? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
