How to transcode video audio only?

Thanks for the help.

Is there a format that is less (or the least) CPU intensive? Is everything encoded through FFmpeg?

As I mentioned in a previous post, my poor Celeron M is maxed out when transcoding and it looks like FFmpeg continues to process the whole video file even if playback is stopped.

you could do this file manually - but it should generally work on other files

Not sure what you mean here.

When looking through the entire Profiles XML all I see is targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video". Is this because that is the only output that FFmpeg produces? Are there any other target video container and codec options out there that can be used? Maybe a different container/codec mix would be lighter on my cpu.

For example: targetContainer="avi" targetVCodec="xvid"

the available containers (mpegts, mpegps, asf) are the only ones that can be used for transcoding on-the-fly

Ok, good to know. Thank you.

Baseline level 3 in flv is processor light, would the same work in asf?
