Convert .mp4 to .ogg keeping only the audio, with Ubuntu 14.04 and avconv
How to convert a .mp4 file (downloaded from YouTube) to .ogg? (keeping only the audio)
When Ubuntu had ffmpeg I could just do ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -acodec vorbis file.ogg
Now we have to do without ffmpeg, but avconv seems to have a different syntax:
$ avconv -i file.mp4 -nv file.ogg
Unrecognized option 'nv'.
Error splitting the argument list: Option not found
Solution 1:
@Nicolas Raoul you made a little mistake, it's not -nv
it's -vn
try:
avconv -i file.mp4 -vn file.ogg
it will work.
