- Strip the audio out of the the file.
- Convert some sort of windows format to mp3.
- Bluetooth it onto my new phone.
- Select it as a new ringtone for my profile.
From this forum thread on Ubuntu it is very easy from the command line.
ffmpeg -i video.wmv audio.wav
(Does anyone know how to go the {{{ }}} wiki thing)
Then from this post it reminded that LAME does the mp3 conversion. I should have remembered that one.
lame -V0 -h -b 160 --vbr-new input.wav output.mp3
At this point if you might be wondering what all of this means if you have never used Linux. If you do know then I am using OpenSUSE 10.3 on a dual core 939 AMD AthlonThen the tricky bit came. For some reason I could not just drag and drop the mp3 into the phone when I opened it up by typing in the Nautilus address bar:
Linux 2.6.22.17-0.1-default #1 SMP 2008/02/10 20:01:04 UTC x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
obex:///
But it would drop it onto my old Nokia 6230i phone. So I did that and then bluetoothed the file from one phone to the other phone. Mission accomplished but I may need to sort out why Nautilus thinks there is no space on my new phone.
