How do I convert a video file to an mp3 file for ipod video 5 gen?

Question

I have a video file that I downloaded from youtube onto itunes and my ipod. But It is NOT a video however it is a radio commentary, but itunes and my ipod only recognize it as a video file and it wont let me add it to my music playlist as a music file. It keeps moving it to the video playlist section and it will only play it as a video. I see the file in my ipod, but I want it as a music file for my music playlist, not as a video b/c it is not a video. It sits on the same picture, there is no movement at all. I had no problem turning it into a music file for my ipod touch but the method I used for the touch wont work for my video 5th gen. Does anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

Do you have Mozilla Firefox?

With that, there is a add-on called Download-Helper.

So, go to this video. And after installing D.H. you click on these moving balls, and find the name of the video. The file is a .flv which is a typical movie. Now, google.com AoA Audio Extractor. Download this, and load the radiocommentary.flv video on, make sure it's set to converting to MP3. Then, when it is done, drag and drop into iTunes.

EDIT: Works BEST with youtube.com videos; you might only need to use the audio extractor. Test the video first on like WMP (Media Player) to make sure it works, and then download AoA A.E.
