Capture Streaming Video and Audio

We're in Utah for Thanksgiving and Jen talked her family into doing a little talent show as part of the festivities. She wanted to do "The Fools" lip sync with her sisters. However, she left the cd at home. She asked me if I could rip the audio from her youtube video on her blog. After a little searching I found this page that describes how to download the actual *.flv file from youtube. Then I was able to demux the audio from the flash video file. Here's the three steps and the software I used:

1. Use the demo version of Replay A/V (retail $50) to locate the actual URL of the flash video being played. This software can be used to actually do the capture, but the demo version will only capture up to 5 MB. This doesn't matter since we only need to use it to find the URL of the source video being played since it is embedded in the swf file embedded in the html.

2. Paste this URL in the address bar of internet explorer and select "save" when prompted.

3. Drag and drop the saved *.flv file into FLV_Extract to demux the video and the audio and poof you've got yourself an mp3 file to burn to CD.
