+Usage: $0 file [file ...]
+
+Remove video from combined video/audio files.
+
+Each file will be replaced with an audio-only copy, with the original
+filename. The original file will be renamed to end in .bak.
+
+$0 foo.mp4 bar.mp4
+
+...will create audio-only foo.mp4 and bar.mp4 files, and the original
+files will be kept as foo.mp4.bak and bar.mp4.bak
+
+Note that the output file will be of the same type as the input file. This
+script does NOT convert the audio to a .wav or whatever, so you end up
+with e.g. an .avi file with only audio (no video).
+
+This is most useful for .flac files, which include a single frame of video
+(a still image).
