A small Python script to convert mp4 video files to mp3 audio. Useful for turning video from sites such as www.ted.com into audio files useable on any old mp3 player.
It uses mplayer and lame to do the actual conversion.

  input directory (optional) - set directory containing mp4 files to convert (defaults to current folder)
