[vdr] Converting radio recordings to wav

[Andreas Tille <tillea@rki.de>]

Hi,

I'm using VDR 1.2.6 (from LinVDR distribution) and have recorded some radio
streams.  If I was converting just the audio stream of a TV recording
I used either

    mencoder 001.vdr -oac pcm -ovc copy -oap fout=44100000 -oafile out.wav
or
    mplayer 001.vdr -ao pcm -vo null -srate 44100 out.wav

But this fails for the radio recording with the following error message:

~>     mplayer 001.vdr -ao pcm -vo null -srate 44100 out.wav
...
Playing 001.vdr.
LMLM4 Stream Format not found

Too many audio packets in the buffer: (4096 in 7307264 bytes).
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.
MPEG: Missing video stream!? Contact the author, it may be a bug :(


Playing out.wav.
File not found: 'out.wav'
Failed to open out.wav


Any help how to convert the radio stream recording to *.wav?

Kind regards

            Andreas.
