Write Python script to convert mp4 file to WAV 8-bit PCM 1 channel audio file
ASSISTANT
To convert an MP4 file to an 8-bit PCM 1 channel (mono) WAV file, you can use the `moviepy` library in Python. Moviepy is a module for video editing that can also be used for audio file operations, and it relies on ffmpeg for audio and video processing.
First, install `moviepy` by running the following command:
```bash
pip install moviepy
```
If you don't have `ffmpeg` installed on your system, `moviepy` should install it automatically. If that does not happen or you encounter any issues, you can also install `ffmpeg` manually as previously described.
Once the dependencies are installed, you can use this Python script to extract audio from your MP4 file and convert it to a WAV file with the specified format:
```python
from moviepy.editor import VideoFileClip
from pydub import AudioSegment
# Define your input and output file paths
input_mp4_file_path = "input.mp4" # Replace with your MP4 file path
output_wav_file_path = "output.wav" # Replace with your desired output file path
# Load the video file
video = VideoFileClip(input_mp4_file_path)
# Extract the audio
audio = video.audio
# Write the audio to a temporary WAV file
temp_wav_path = "temp.wav"
audio.write_audiofile(temp_wav_path, codec='pcm_s16le', ffmpeg_params=["-ac", "1", "-ar", "22050"])
# Load the temp WAV file using pydub
wav_audio = AudioSegment.from_wav(temp_wav_path)
# Convert to mono 8bit
wav_audio = wav_audio.set_channels(1)
wav_audio = wav_audio.set_frame_rate(22050)
wav_audio = wav_audio.set_sample_width(1)
# Export as 8-bit PCM WAV
wav_audio.export(output_wav_file_path, format="wav", codec="pcm_s8")
# Clean up the temp file
os.remove(temp_wav_path)
print(f"Conversion complete. Saved to '{output_wav_file_path}'")
```
This code snippet performs the following actions:
1. Loads the MP4 file using MoviePy.
2. Extracts the audio from the video.
3. Writes the extracted audio to a temporary WAV file at the same sampling rate and with one audio channel.
4. Loads the temporary WAV file using PyDub.
5. Configures the settings for 8-bit PCM and mono audio.
6. Exports the processed audio as a WAV file with the specified settings.
7. Removes the temporary WAV file.
Make sure to replace `input.mp4` with the path to your MP4 file and `output.wav` with the desired path for the output WAV file.
The MoviePy `write_audiofile` method is used with ffmpeg parameters to ensure that the audio is downmixed to one channel (mono) and has a sample rate of 22050 Hz (modify this according to your needs).
The `ffmpeg_params` argument in the `write_audiofile` method allows us to pass custom parameters to ffmpeg. We use `"-ac", "1"` to specify that the output should be mono (1 channel) and `"-ar", "22050"` to set the audio sample rate to 22050 Hz.
Pydub is then used for the final conversion step, reducing the bit depth from the default 16-bit PCM to 8-bit PCM (signed 8-bit, `pcm_s8` codec) and exporting the audio as a WAV file.
Please note that the conversion process can be a bit resource-intensive and the time taken will depend on the size and duration of the input MP4 file.
