Get the latest version of python at https://www.python.org/getit/

Installation

Currently the script has only been tested on Debian based OS with Nautilus File Manager

• Install the latest version of python (3.7.3)

• Install the library moviepy using the below command,

  pip3 install moviepy

• Copy the Video_to_Audio.py file to the location ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts (.local directory should be hidden, so if you can't find the directory check the Show Hidden Files in the settings.)

• Now right click on the file, go to Properties and select the Permissions. Now check the Allow Executing file as program dialog box.

  

• Everything is setup now. You can now use the script by right clicking on any video file and selecting Scripts -> Mp4_To_Mp3.py (or whatever the file name is)

  

NOTE:

Sometimes an error is raised stating that ffmpeg is not found like No ffmpeg exe could be found. Install ffmpeg on your system, or set the IMAGEIO_FFMPEG_EXE environment variable.

There is no need to worry. You just need to run the command,

sudo apt install ffmpeg

and all the errors would be gone.
