One possibility to fix this problem may be to split out the audio as a raw audio stream w/o headers (necessary because the headers will inaccurately claim that the audio is 48000) and then resample the raw audio file. At one web site I ran across this ... "To extract the audio track from the source, type: ffmpeg -i <input_file> -vn <output_file> The command can be applied to both DV/DivX/XviD AVI and MPEG files." I've tried the above command against my gentoo ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1 and it does not work. ffmpeg -i Turman.dv -vn Turman.pcm ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1, build 4743, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard configuration: --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-shared-pp --enable-shared --disable-static --disable-mmx --disable-altivec --disable-debug --enable-mp3lame --disable-a52 --disable-a52bin --enable-audio-oss --enable-v4l --disable-dv1394 --disable-dc1394 --disable-pthreads --enable-xvid --enable-ogg --enable-vorbis --disable-dts --disable-network --enable-zlib --enable-ffplay --disable-faad --disable-faac --disable-faadbin --enable-gpl --enable-pp --disable-opts built on Apr 26 2005 06:41:03, gcc: 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1) Input #0, dv, from 'Turman.dv': Duration: 00:34:21.6, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 28771 kb/s Stream #0.0: Video: dvvideo, 720x480, 29.97 fps, 25000 kb/s Stream #0.1: Audio: pcm_s16le, 48000 Hz, stereo, 1536 kb/s Unable for find a suitable output format for 'Turman.pcm' In the above, the problem is arising because the 48000 audio stream is not really 48000, though it claims to be, but rather 4800x. But that is an aside. Right now I'm wondering how I can take the raw.dv file as input with ffmpeg and split out a nice raw.pcm file without the audio headers which I might be able to feed into a resampling program to push it from the 48008 (or whatever it is) over to the true 48000. I've tried a half dozen "-f" permutations along with some other option experiments and haven't managed to split out a clean raw.pcm file from the input raw.dv file. Could someone give me a clue re option combination? Thanks, Heitzso
