NAME

rmsilence - remove silent parts from specified video files

DESCRIPTION

rmsilence is a Perl script for automatically removing silent parts (video segments with silent audio tracks) from video files. For every video file specified as command-line arguments, rmsilence uses the silentdetect audio filter in FFmpeg for detecting silent parts in a video file. Non-silent parts are extracted from the original video files, and those files are concatenated as a single video file. All video files without silent parts are stored in the output directory (/tmp by default). You can specify the output directory with -d option.

REQUIREMENTS

• Perl version 5.0 or later
• FFmpeg (https://ffmpeg.org/)
