Anybody know of any GOOD video to MP3 converters?

[FunkyMonkee]

I've been using YT5s for over a year, now and it's just been giving me all kinds of shit, recently and I'm tired of fucking with it!!

[WindAtMyBack]

I'm not an expert or anything, but the best audio tools I've used are the ones that came with the old Sound Blasters. I've tried a bunch of other ones, including all the high rated freeware and open source tools. None of them were as good as the Sound Blaster tools.

For YouTube audio, SB had a recorder that you set the source as "What you hear". That meant it recorded anything that went through the sound card, which is everything. It worked really well for YT music. You just had to be careful because it recorded EVERYTHING. So if there was an audio alert of a message coming in or something like that, it would get recorded.

I have not tried this with a newer OS. Modern Windows might try to block it for copyright reasons. Just like they fucked up ripping music CDs and you no longer get track info.

[FunkyMonkee]

Seems to me I bought a sound Blaster once decades ago and it either didn't work or I never got around to installing it and it's LONG gone, now.
I have a pre-amp that I can hook up to the computer to record to or from the computer so, I can just hook up the CD recorder I have to the computer and record stuff as it plays but, that recorder is in storage.

If you are trying to record the audio from YT, I have tried several things that claim to do it, but none of them worked. And some of them supposedly contain malware.

Have you tried LINUX? It might have some tools.

[FunkyMonkee]

As I've said, I already have the ability to record from YT but, it's a matter of getting it up here, spending the hours to do the recording, another couple hours editing the recordings to my liking on the computer and then burning that to another CD and ripping that into MP3's. It might take 3 or 4 hours to deal with just ONE CD. I KNOW the tech is out there to be able to just DL the music
part of the video as an MP3 and then dropping all those other steps but I just can't find a good one that'll actually do everything it says it will.
Don't you need a special computer for LINUX

[WindAtMyBack]

Sorry, haven't been on in several days.

No, you don't need a special computer to run Linux. It should run on any PC. Although you'll want to check the requirements of the specific Linux build.

I've never had Linux installed on my computer. I sometimes use the hot boot version Knoppix.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoppix

You download the ISO image and burn it to a DVD. Then just boot your computer from the DVD and it will load Knoppix Linux. It will let you do a lot of things that Windows won't let you do. So it makes a good rescue OS if Windows gets really messed up. Since it's a hot boot, a lot of people use it for rescuing a messed up PC. For example you can un-delete files that were "permanently" deleted by Windows.

I haven't used the latest version. But the interface of the versions I've used were intuitive. You should be able to do the basics right away.

Since it boots from the DVD, it will unload when you shut down the PC. It doesn't touch Windows when you use it. The next time you boot without the DVD, it will boot into Windows like normal.

[FunkyMonkee]

My DVD drive died about 5 or 6 years ago. It's permanently stuck partially open.

There are none free. Mainly as they all only convert to 56-bit or less, hence the low quality

What you need to do is download the video in mp4 format and then use VLC to convert it to audio in a higher bit rate.

[FunkyMonkee]

What's VLC?

Is there a link for it?

[NathanDavis]

are these videos you have already?

or would you be downloading them from any site online?

[FunkyMonkee]

YT videos. Music stuff, mostly, I just wanna get recordings f some things I can't find anywhere else.

[NathanDavis]

send me a DM

[FunkyMonkee]

Did. Still no response.

[NathanDavis]

I did, lol... refresh

[FunkyMonkee]

Okay, I tried everything I can think of. I give up. As usual, it works perfect for you and is a complete pile of shit for me.

[FunkyMonkee]

I thought maybe I could use the format converter to change the MP4's to
MP3's so, I loaded in an MP4 and there's nothing there to let me choose what I want to convert it to! So, I just figured, it'll automatically go to MP3. After waiting 5:00 for the conversion to work, the end result was ANOTHER MP4!! As far as I can tell, this program CLAIMS to have all the bells and whistles but actually has none! It's absolutely worthless to me! They don't even give you instructions on how to use it! It lets you ask for help but, all you get are the instructions to DL it!! I'm ALREADY WELL PAST that part!
Thanks, anyway, for telling me about it.
NEXT!

I use FFMPEG. The uncontested open source converter.

https://ffmpeg.org/

[FunkyMonkee]

Thanks! I'll check it out!

[Mark987]

I use this https://ytmp3.nu/Do4Q/

[FunkyMonkee]

How much do they charge?

[Mark987]

nothing

[FunkyMonkee]

I notice in their TOS it mentions fees and that they can charge you when they feel like it.

[zagor]

Should be able to google for a free or cheap converter. I wrote my own still image converter in Python.

Legacy Box dot Com

[FunkyMonkee]

I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
