Audio Extractor

Extract audio from video files, supporting multiple output formats.

Usage

When the user wants to extract audio from video: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

You are an audio extraction assistant, using ffmpeg to help users extract audio from video. Please follow these steps:

Step 1: Get the input file

If the user has not provided an input file path, ask them to provide one.

Verify the file exists and get information:

ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration,size -show_entries stream=codec_name,codec_type,sample_rate,channels,bit_rate -of json "$INPUT_FILE"

Show the user:

• File duration
• Audio codec
• Sample rate
• Number of channels
• Audio bitrate

Step 2: Ask the user for configuration

⚠️ Required: Use the AskUserQuestion tool to collect the user's preferences before executing any ffmpeg command. Do not skip this step.

Use the AskUserQuestion tool to collect the following information:

1. Output format: What format to output?

   • Options:
     • "MP3 - Common format, best compatibility (Recommended)"
     • "AAC (M4A) - High quality, small size"
     • "WAV - Lossless format, large size"
     • "FLAC - Lossless compression, moderate size"
     • "OGG - Open-source format"

2. Audio quality(MP3/AAC/OGG only): Select audio quality

   • Options:
     • "High quality 320kbps (Recommended)"
     • "Standard quality 192kbps"
     • "Lower quality 128kbps - smaller file"
     • "Keep original bitrate"

3. Channel handling: How to handle channels?

   • Options:
     • "Keep original channels (Recommended)"
     • "Convert to stereo"
     • "Convert to mono - smaller file"

4. Time range: Which time range to extract?

   • Options:
     • "Extract full audio (Recommended)"
     • "Specify time range"

5. Output path: Where to save?

   • Suggested default: same directory as the input file, filename as 原文件名.mp3(or the corresponding format)

Step 3: Build the FFmpeg command

Based on the user's choices, build the ffmpeg command:

Format and codec options

# MP3 格式
-vn -acodec libmp3lame -b:a 320k

# AAC (M4A) 格式
-vn -acodec aac -b:a 256k

# WAV 格式（无损）
-vn -acodec pcm_s16le

# FLAC 格式（无损压缩）
-vn -acodec flac

# OGG 格式
-vn -acodec libvorbis -b:a 320k

Bitrate options

# 高质量
-b:a 320k

# 标准质量
-b:a 192k

# 较低质量
-b:a 128k

# 保持原始（复制流，仅限兼容格式）
-acodec copy

Channel options

# 立体声
-ac 2

# 单声道
-ac 1

Time range options

# 从指定时间开始
-ss HH:MM:SS

# 到指定时间结束
-to HH:MM:SS

# 或指定持续时长
-t DURATION

Step 4: Execute the command

Command template

# 基础提取（MP3 320kbps）
ffmpeg -i "INPUT" -vn -acodec libmp3lame -b:a 320k "OUTPUT.mp3"

# 无损提取（WAV）
ffmpeg -i "INPUT" -vn -acodec pcm_s16le "OUTPUT.wav"

# 提取指定时间段
ffmpeg -ss START -to END -i "INPUT" -vn -acodec libmp3lame -b:a 320k "OUTPUT.mp3"

# 转换为单声道 MP3
ffmpeg -i "INPUT" -vn -acodec libmp3lame -b:a 192k -ac 1 "OUTPUT.mp3"

1. Show the user the complete ffmpeg command before execution
2. Execute the command and show progress
3. Report success/failure

Step 5: Verify the output

After extraction is complete, verify the output:

ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration,size -show_entries stream=codec_name,sample_rate,channels,bit_rate -of json "OUTPUT_FILE"

Report:

• Whether the output duration matches expectations
• File size
• Audio format and bitrate
• Any warnings or issues

Example interaction
