The following code is my work which can extract the audio track and save it to a file in android. However, I don’t know how to encode the audio track to be a playable audio file (e.g., .m4a or .aac). In addition, I also read the format information of the audio track {mime=audio/mp4a-latm, aac-profile=2, channel-count=2, track-id=2, profile=2, max-input-size=610, durationUs=183600181, csd-0=java.nio.HeapByteBuffer[pos=0 lim=2 cap=2], sample-rate=44100}.
MediaExtractor extractor = new MediaExtractor(); try { extractor.setDataSource("input.mp4"); int numTracks = extractor.getTrackCount(); int audioTrackIndex = -1; for (int i = 0; i < numTracks; ++i) { MediaFormat format = extractor.getTrackFormat(i); String mime = format.getString(MediaFormat.KEY_MIME); if (mime.equals("audio/mp4a-latm")) { audioTrackIndex = i; break; } } // Extract audio if (audioTrackIndex >= 0) { ByteBuffer byteBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(500 * 1024); File audioFile = new File("output_audio_track"); FileOutputStream audioOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(audioFile); extractor.selectTrack(audioTrackIndex); while (true) { int readSampleCount = extractor.readSampleData(byteBuffer, 0); if (readSampleCount < 0) { break; } // Save audio file byte[] buffer = new byte[readSampleCount]; byteBuffer.get(buffer); audioOutputStream.write(buffer); byteBuffer.clear(); extractor.advance(); } audioOutputStream.close(); } } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { extractor.release(); }
Answer
To extract the audio stream without re-encoding:
ffmpeg -i input-video.mp4 -vn -acodec copy output-audio.aac
-vn is no video. -acodec copy says use the same audio stream that’s already in there.
Read the output to see what codec it is, to set the right filename extension.
