Powershell: Convert WAV's to MP3 Files
The following powershell script converts via VLC the WAV's in the current directory to MP3 files. It doesn't like apostrophes in the filename. You'll need windows VLC to run via Powershell and you'll need to set the execution policy to "Unrestricted".
You can verify the execution policy setting by using the Get-ExecutionPolicy PowerShell command: get-executionpolicy
Then:
set-executionpolicy unrestricted
The following is the script, copy paste and save in notepad as "convertWAVtoMP3.ps1" or whatever you prefer.
------------------------------------------------------
$outputExtension = ".mp3"
$bitrate = 320
$channels = 2
foreach($inputFile in get-childitem -recurse -Filter *.wav)
{
$outputFileName = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($inputFile.FullName) + $outputExtension;
$outputFileName = [System.IO.Path]::Combine($inputFile.DirectoryName, $outputFileName);
$programFiles = ${env:ProgramFiles(x86)};
if($programFiles -eq $null) { $programFiles = $env:ProgramFiles; }
$processName = $programFiles + "\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"
$processArgs = "-I dummy -vvv "$($inputFile.FullName)
" --sout=#transcode{acodec="mp3
",ab="$bitrate
","channels=$channels
"}:standard{access="file
",mux="wav
",dst="$outputFileName
"} vlc://quit"
start-process $processName $processArgs -wait
}

Anyway with VideoDownloadHelper you can save youtube video's to MP4 then convert to WAV file then to MP3.
