actual question: clean and safe .flv to .mp3 converter?


I need something simple safe and clean for my laptop when I'm in art project mode and don't want to fire up *Rosey*.


I downloaded convertflvtomp3_setup.exe and I am thinking I might try it.

Any recommendations or specific warnings?



Thanks.


best regards,
mike

    .flv is the extension of flash video... so for example I sometimes would like to quickly grab a quote from a YouTube stream.

    I tried using Windows Sound Recorder but the results were choppy while the actual listening seemed smooth.

    So, now I am looking for a offline conversion.

    The .flv to .mp3 converters are very common... almost too common... and I was hoping to try one that is thought to be free of scam ware.

    best,
    mike

    I've used this site a few times to get sound from a YouTube clip

    Been good for me so far.

    I have the s/pdif output from the mb onboard sound connected to my Firestudio so if there's any sound I want to grab I just fire up X1 and record it, regardless of the source format.

    Have you tried the Free YouTube Downloader?  It not only retrieves the file for you, but will also output in a number of formats; I've used it with acceptable results.  http://youtubedownloader.com/

    Why not go all out and hook up the AES/EBU?

    I doubt that.

    Weren't you teaching us about digital controllers for Aus Sous cooking a few months back?



    I just tried a free online converter... and now I have unwanted "album art" in my Win Media Player.

    The tool you downloaded looks clean enough.

    Having an E-Mu card I just use the Aux send from Patchmix to record any media audio.

    Format Factory

    It's 100% free, just make sure you uncheck the Ask.com toolbar option when you install it. Also, it defaults to automatically check for updates. I always turn that stuff off so things aren't poking at my bandwidth in the background.

    It's lightning fast. I convert FLV's to MP3 all the time with it. I don't know what codec it uses for MP3's but they sound great. It also converts video from cell phones to any format, MPG, WMV, etc.

    Hard to believe it's free ... it's the best converter I've ever used.

    I still think using SPDIF was the best answer.

    I do it exactly the way Karyn is suggesting. I run three computers at once here and it is easy to set one up for playing back Youtube stuff. I also have a digital connection from all of them to each other and can easily record the audio into my main DAW. It works very well every time and saves a lot of fiddling around in the long run. I find the quality to be very reasonable at times too.

    I use YouTube Downloader as mentioned above, but this is just another zombie thread resurected by a spammer.
