Vista Home Premium - Recording sound from You Tube

How do I capture audio from the internet - through speakers? I click
on my "SOund recorder" but nothing is recorded from You Tube. I assume
there are some adjustments I need to make somewhere?

Thanks for the help.

First, you need a way to download video from YouTube.

Second, you need a utility to convert FLV and MP4 to MP3.


I use Firefox 3.5.3 and addon FlashGot to download video from YouTube.

You pick a video and start playing to get a link.

Right-click on a empty spot on the webpage to bring up the context menu and
look for parenthesis around a number next to FlashGot. The number indicates
the number of video links it caught.

Once you download the video use a video to MP3 audio converter to rip the
audio from the video format. YouTube uses FLV (Flash Video) and MP4 video
formats.

I don't want to download video, I just want to
capture the audio portion using "Sound Recorder" in Vista Home Premium.

See my website's Import Movie Source Files > Music and Audio page... maybe
you can use Movie Maker to capture whatever is playing on the computer, as I
do.

Well, if you really want to it that way.

You might want to get a stereo speaker wire with the mini plugs and connect
the speaker out to mic in. I don't think the Sound Recorder provides any
other options.

But you're going to loose some audio quality and you have to adjust and
re-adjust the volume to get optimal audio level. Which means plugging and
unplugging the audio and speaker cables repeatedly.

Given the parameters of your request, that's about the best solution I can
provide.

Deviate from your request a little bit, you might search for audio recording
software with options to select audio source.

You might run across something that might allow for recording wave out
directly from the app like a web browser. I'm sure it can be done, but I
can't say I've ever come across anything like that in all my computer
experience. Not that I've ever tried looking for one.

There's no real difference between watching and downloading the video. It
still has to be sent to your computer. If you download it, it's easier to
locate and work with. Watching it, it buffers the video in the internet
cache somewhere with a randomly generated name.

Apologies if this question's already been resolved. From what I see, it
hasn't

I frequently listen to radio over the web, and catch up on some videos on
You Tube, etc. A wide range of audio sources. I wanted to record anything
that I could hear. I had the audio software, but Vista wasn't configured to
enable that kind of source.

This is how. You don't need to download software, converters, podcasts,
videos,anything.

Your audio hardware should have a setting which allows anything you hear
over the speakers to be recorded.
That's what you need to have enabled. AFAIK all Vista machines will have
the same setting as on mine: "Stereo Mix".

If you do not have that as a recording option, it is simple to add it.

Control Panel > Sound > select Recording tab.
You should see Stereo Mix as a device. If you do, skip the next three
lines and go to the ** line
If you do NOT see Stereo Mix as a Recording Device:
Right-click anywhere in the white area of the device listings.
Check the options for "Show Disabled Devices". You should see Stereo Mix
appear.
** Left click on Stereo Mix to highlight it.
Click on Properties.
See Device Usages at the bottom of the panel .. change the setting to "Use
this device (enable)".

Repeat click on OK, OK, OK etc to get out of the Sound tab and exit the
control panel.

That worked for me, and did not require any downloads of anything. I record
using a range of software including Sonar and Cool Edit. All the options
work for me.

The only caveat is that any sounds you have enabled, such as Windows sounds,
etc etc, will be recorded along with the audio you actually want to record.
You'll have to silence those other sources if you don't want them.
