[digiKam-users] Extracting audio from .mp4 file

[Tac Tacelosky]

Thanks.  Yes, I'm using both those tools now, and they work fine for me.
But I need to come up with an easy-to-use cross-platform system for an
interviewing workflow with limited internet.  My idea was to use digikam,
since it has such explicit support for importing media from SD cards.  I
could then ask the users to select the photos and videos they want for the
project (crop the photos, etc.)

The next step of the process needs just the audio, or a super-low-quality
video (e.g 1 fps), so the files can be quickly uploaded to a website, where
computers and people can transcribe and translate the content.  That's the
step I'm trying to solve right now.  I'm using kdenlive for some of the
photo/video selection, but it lacks customized batch jobs, customized
proxies (which prompted this question), and extracting audio puts the .flac
file in the same directory as the video, etc.

I'm trying to avoid asking the users to install ffmeg, so thought there
might be a way to set something in a batch queue manager to create the
lower-quality videos or extract the audio, and skip kdenlive for this part.

I use Ubuntu, but others who want to use this use Windows and Mac.  If I
knew docker better, I'd probably wrap everything in a docker container,
especially now that Windows 10 has much better support for it.  But some of
the computers are older, and probably not even running Windows 10.

I guess my feature request would be that ffmpeg and ffprobe be available as
customizable tools.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions, I'll play around with the User Shell
Script.
