Re: [LUG] mpg to mp3

[Kevin Lucas <kevin.lucas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have mplayer installed, this script has worked for me to convert
many different file formats (just sub the input type in the first line)
the output type can be $out.wav, .$out.mp3, $out.ogg etc



#!/bin/bash
# 
# *.mpg2wav
# 
for i in *.mpg; do
    out=$(echo $i | sed -e 's/.mpg//g')
    mplayer -ao pcm "$i" -ao pcm:file="$out.wav"
done
