Convert Video Audio to MP3 with FFmpeg
To rip the audio from a video file and encode it to mp3:
ffmpeg -i MOVIE.webm -q:a 0 AUDIO.mp3
The -q:
sets fixed quality scale (VBR) to the selected stream, which is a
(all audio streams), and passes 0
to the audio codec (LAME) which interprets it as "highest quality". 9
would be "lowest quality".
