How to get a video on a website as an audio file?

Question

Alright so I have this instructional video that one of my friends sent me, and we needed to learn from this video and wanted to turn it into an audio file that can be burned on a cd. Is this possible and if so is there an easier way than recording it with a microphone and using that file to burn?

Answer 1

Well what I would do is use Windows sound recorder. However, since those versions before Vista cannot record more than a certain amount of time, you might have to push the record button repeatedly to the length of the video file before you record it. This should decrease the amount of interruptions from the sound clip ending. The best strategy for this problem is to make your girlfriend sit in front of the computer and repeatedly press the button using the space bar.

After she's done, you can play around on the computer before you decide to record. In this time, it is possible that your computer will freeze on you causing you to lose the file that your girlfriend worked hard on. At this point, I suggest you call her at home and somehow get her to do it all over again while you sleep.

When she discovers in the middle of the night that the recording quality does not match that of your superior computer, you can have her send the file to you (but you find it to be too large to send through email). After she puts it on a flash drive for you, you will probably discover that she cannot open the type of file it is saved as and that was the only type of file she would have been able to save as anyways.

From here, I suggest that you call her and problem solve without her having to drive back to your house that night or the next morning. After you find the very nifty site, youconvertit.com, you will be able to successfully have a file that you can record over from the video on that website. Once you succeed, I suggest that you reward the girlfriend with a frozen coke icee and a bag of cheetos for all of her hardwork. Punish her for her mistakes with a smaller size coke icee and a slightly smaller size bag of cheetos if you must.

Hope that works for you!
