Extracts and converts audio tracks from video files using ffmpeg with intelligent format selection.
The Audio Stream Extractor skill empowers Claude to intelligently manage media manipulation by automating ffmpeg and ffprobe workflows. It handles the complexity of probing media streams, selecting optimal bitrates, and choosing between lossless or lossy formats based on the user's specific intent—whether it's for high-fidelity music archiving, podcast distribution, or DAW editing. By prioritizing quality preservation and offering direct stream copying, it ensures users get the best possible audio output without unnecessary transcoding degradation.
