Agree that if vlc isn't fit for OP's purpose, then find another player.

If vlc is being launched from the command-line, one can try the
"--novideo" option. There should be a similar option available via
the menus.
Occasionally, I will go through and dump the video.
Here are my notes:
ffmpeg to convert MP4, webm movies to audio only OGG:
$ dnf whatprovides ffmpeg
ffmpeg-4.1.3-2.fc30.x86_64 : Digital VCR and streaming server
Repo : @System
Matched from:
Provide : ffmpeg = 4.1.3-2.fc30
ffmpeg-4.1.3-2.fc30.x86_64 : Digital VCR and streaming server
Repo : rpmfusion-free
Matched from:
Provide : ffmpeg = 4.1.3-2.fc30
To convert one file:
ffmpeg -i videofile.mp4 -vn -acodec libvorbis audiofile.ogg
To remove video and caonvert to ogg audio:
ffmpeg -i video.any -vn -acodec libvorbis audio.ogg
To convert many files:
Note: rename *.MP4 to *.mp4
$ for vid in *.mp4; do ffmpeg -i "$vid" -vn -acodec libvorbis
"${vid%.mp4}.ogg"; done
$ for vid in *.webm; do ffmpeg -i "$vid" -vn -acodec libvorbis
"${vid%.webm}.ogg"; done
