Extract audio

The extract-audio command is designed to detach the audio component from a video file. Whether you're repurposing the audio content of videos for podcasts, transcription, or other audio-centric endeavors, this tool provides a seamless experience.

Features:

• Dual Audio Extraction with --eq Flag:
• When you use the --eq flag, the command produces two distinct audio files:
  1. A pure audio file extracted directly from the video.
  2. An enhanced audio file where compression is applied, and the volume is amplified by 10 decibels.

• This gives users the flexibility to have both the raw and enhanced versions for various applications.

• Default Output: If an output_file isn't specified, the extracted audio will default to output.wav. If --eq is used, the enhanced version might have a suffix or different naming to differentiate it from the raw audio.

• Opt-Out of Audio Enhancement: If you only want the raw, unaltered audio without the enhanced version, simply use the --no-eq flag.

Example Usage:

To extract both raw and enhanced audio from a video named presentation.mp4:

vmh extract-audio presentation.mp4 --eq

For raw audio extraction without any enhancement:

vmh extract-audio presentation.mp4 --no-eq

--help Flag Output:
