How To Extract Audio From YouTube Videos

I have mentioned earlier on how to download YouTube Videos and save them on your computer inorder to view the videos offline. The videos are saved in a .flv extension that can be played with a FLV player.

What if you want to rip audio from YouTube videos? Or want to covert any FLV file to AVI,MOV,MP4 or MP3 format ?

With the Online FLV Converter at Vixy, you can convert YouTube videos in other formats like AVI, MOV and MP4 or convert the video as an audio only file in the MP3 format. Vixy also lets you covert any FLV file to AVI/MOV/MP4/MP3 format online.

When you submit an URL, this service will download and convert the video to your desired format and lets you download the converted file. Vixy allows you to download online videos direct to PC, iPod and PSP for free.

The above trick can also be applied to other video sharing web sites like Google Video and MetaCafe.

If the YouTube Video is on your hard disk as an FLV file, you can use the free FLV Extract utility to extract audio and video from FLV files. The video is saved as AVI and the audio is saved as MP3.
