Add a "Right-click on a .WAV file, Convert to MP3" extension to Explorer
I created a key in the Windows registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\Convert to MP3\command
with:
"D:\tools\ffmpeg.exe" -i "%1" -acodec libmp3lame -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 256k "%1.mp3"
It works, except that the filename is not exactly what I want:
Input: test.wav
, Output: test.wav.mp3
whereas I'd like the output filename to be test.mp3
.
I also tried with:
"D:\tools\ffmpeg.exe" ... "%~n1.mp3"
like in this answer, but it doesn't work: the output is %~n1.mp3
then!
How to remove the original extension like this, and replace by .mp3?
PS: I'm looking for a solution without involving a .bat file, but only the registry. If not possible, it's ok to use a bat file.
Assumed that ffmpeg.exe is included by path variable, use
cmd /q /c for %%I in ("%1") do ffmpeg -i %%I -acodec libmp3lame -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 256k "%%~nI.mp3"as one-liner without bat file.
Here is a solution with a .BAT file (don't know if it's possible without a BAT file). The key is to use %~n1.mp3
, as explained here.
File ____LameMP3me.bat
:
"D:\Documents\software\____PORTABLE\____useful-tools\ffmpeg.exe" -i %1 -acodec libmp3lame -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 256k "%~n1.mp3"
In HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\Lame MP3 me!\command
:
"D:\Documents\software\____PORTABLE\____useful-tools\____LameMP3me.bat" "%1"
