Ripping sound from an AVI

[Riffer]

Is there an app that I can rip music from an avi file?

If you like a GUI, I've done this using Avidemux. Been awhile, but it was fairly simple to use.

System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager > Search "avidemux"

ffmpeg -i foo.avi -vn -acodec copy bar.mp3

Assuming the audio is MP3, of course..

Convert it to ogg audio file by 'Sound Converter'.

No. Just... no. Converting from a lossy codec to another will sound horrible.

mplayer file.avi -identify -vo null -ao null -frames 0 |grep ID_AUDIO_CODEC
gives you audio codec information.
you can use ffmpeg as above or harder way

mplayer -dumpaudio file.avi -dumpfile fileout
File is sometimes playable depending on audio format (but should be reusable with mencoder at least and might be even remuxable... with ffmpeg :lolflag:).
