Damn proprietary bullshit. grr I found this command on the Web (some HOWTO someplace) after googling: mplayer foo.rm -ao pcm -aofile foo.wav -vc dummy -vo null Now that I see it, I see how it works. -ao is audio out driver, -aofile is obvious, -vc is video codecs -vo is video out driver. I think I could guess how you might proceed from there. Still, I can't cut a CD with the result yet... -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
