converting mp3

[androidealp]

I need to convert the videos into mp3, but I see the message:"ERROR: WARNING: unable to obtain file audio codec with ffprobe"
I researched on ffmpeg which can convert to mp3. I use CentOS server and need to know what the best alternative. and how to install it.

Do you have ffmpeg installed? Try yum install ffmpeg. We should improve that error message when we can't find ffprobe/ffmpeg.

To install it and use it I just need to run the above code?
I saw a full tutorial of installing ffmpeg, do not need all these procedures?

As root user:

1. Install RPM Forge repo
2. Install ffmpeg + Lame yum install ffmpeg lame

Doesn't get much easier :)

If you run ffmpeg -formats and look for mp3 you should see DE next to it - that means you can decode and encode
