Does anyone know if its possible to convert the audio from a youtube clip to an mp3 file?

Download the file (via certain known ways), then open the FLV file in VirtualDub, and extract what you need :)

1. Google on how to download a file from YouTube. 2. Download the file via above method. The file will have an FLV extension. This is just a normal AVI file. 3. Google for VirtualDub, and download it. 4. Open the FLV file in VirtualDub. 5. Save the audio stream to your desired output format (it may already be in mp3 format, so it could perhaps just be copied directly). Bit better? Look at www.doom9.org[^] for any tips on these things :)

If you are using Firefox you can download add-on called Download Helper (version 3.5 is current). It allows saving the YouTube downloads in formats other than native. DH will need to install additional format converters, but once you are done with this process becomes one click download & conversion while listening.

FLV files are Flash video files, they aren't AVIs.

Actually, you will have better luck with MediaCoder (also on sourceforge). VirtualDub cant handle FLV it seems.

Correction, its "I stand corrected" unless you are implying that your stance is a correct one (feet on foot apart, back straight, etc)

Well then, I salute you on your proper stance! Not many young people these days stand correctly, most slouch which is very bad for the back and it makes them look shorter and protrudes their posterior making it seem much larger :laugh:
