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.
