If you guys want to extract the vid or audio of your youtube downloads (or any flv file for that matter), you can try FLV Extract (lightweight and freeware). The good thing about this simple program is that it doesn't re-encode the extracted vid/audio.

An yep, you don't even have to install this to your pc. Just extract the rar file, drag and drop those flv files and you're set. You can get it at moitah.net

www.video2mp3.net is by far and away the easiest way of doing it. Copy and paste a URL and it gives you a direct download link in seconds. Amazing site can't recommend it enough for doing this kind of thing.

Oh no that is your recomendation but you don´t need great software to extract the audio from a youtube video. I knew about a javascript that you put in the browser and a link with the mp3file appears next to the youtube video in the youtube website. But I download the youtube audio from the videos with the Jdownloader download manager that allow you download from Rapidshare and Megaupload and all the others free file hosting. With jdownloader when you want to download a video from youtube it make you the question if you want the video in the original .flv format or in the mp4 format or if you want to download the audio only and that allows you to download the audio in .mp3 format and that is all the work to download audio files from youtube.com.

I recommend you Jdownloader is a great download manager and the best of all is that allow you to download from any website and from any filehosting server like Rapidshare, Mega y DepositFiles.

Try the Jdownloader and all the troubles with the Youtube´s videos download are forgot.

Regards.

I guess there must be a software for this, just google it, or just google youtube to mp3, and you'll get thousands of results.

I've always found it easier this way:
Go to a youtube video. I'll use this one as an example:
Look at the URL and replace the word "Youtube" with "voobys" so now the URL will look like this http://www.voobys.co...h?v=Ua3hZXfNZOE
This will allow you to download the .flv file, but I find it easier. and there's also a link on voobys for downloading an flv player that you can use to play the videos but to extract the audio I'd say use the program the topic poster provided.

Or you can just download and install vixy and type the url into the program and select MP3. Much faster...

Or that...



Or get a program called "Free Youtube To MP3 Converter" from DVDVideoSoft. Go into the options and tell it to auto-paste from clip board. Then tell the main screen to download to whatever folder and as whatever type. Then you don't have to paste. Just copy the URL. When you're done populating a list, click download. It'll download any music YOU can hear.

Hi, you could play the video on YouTube and check whether you can hear the sound or not and then use an audio recorder to rip audio from FLV straightly. Go to the record section and see how it works. And Windows users can also use embeded sound recorder to rip audio.

Yes, electriic ink, what you describe works, but is there no a simpler way?

Rather than using two different programs to do the downloading and the extraction of the sound track afterwards, would it not be a lot simple to use Youtubedownloader, a program which does exactly the same as the one you mentioned, ie. it downloads videos from Youtube, and it does so as a .flv file, however, after downloading, with the same program, you have an option of converting the file to whatever you like, which are (if I remember it all correctly) .AVI, .MPEG2, .MPEG4, .GP3 (for mobile phones and Ipods), there might be more formats, I don't remember exactly, but there is also an option to take the audio from the downloaded video and to convert that to a number of formats (I believe .mp3, .wav and .ogg, not sure on all of those).

I have experienced in the past the converted .mp3 files sounded OK, and you could even set the bitrate you wanted.

Not that I want to run down the possibilities that other people are using here, after all, we all have our own preferred way of doing things, and the one I mentioned is the way I usually do it, I just had a thought it is easier to do it all with one program rather that downloading the film with one program, then opening another one to do the extraction/conversion while you can do the whole job with using two simple steps in one handy and easy little program.
