Yaps Video to Audio

Read the runtime guide before the first operation. It defines <yaps>, account readiness, local permissions, and file handling.

Required Yaps version: 2.3.124 or newer. Check installed command help for later capabilities.

Feature readiness: Yaps media extraction and the installed FFmpeg dependency. Check media extract-audio help; no separate speech model is required.

Workflow

Choose MP3 unless the user requests WAV or M4A. Use WAV for a requested lossless working copy feeding another audio workflow. Select a new <source> Audio.<format> path.

Run <yaps> media extract-audio <video> --format <mp3|wav|m4a> --output <new-audio> --pretty. Confirm the result exists, is non-empty, has a playable audio stream, and has the expected duration. Preserve the video and prior exports.

A video with no audio must return that condition rather than an empty success file. If media dependencies are missing, use the runner's specific guidance; install only when authorized. Do not replace this integration with ad-hoc conversion software silently.

Boundaries

• No transcript, denoising, or scene editing is implied by extraction.
• Format conversion may re-encode; do not label MP3 as lossless.
• Do not extract unrelated tracks or change the source video.
