[Hidden-tech] YouTube - audio question

[Peter Jaros]

There are lots of sites that claim to do this for you, none of which I
can personally vouch for:

If you want to do this yourself, first you'll need to get the flv/mp4
from YouTube (which you'll probably have to use a similarly sketchy
site for), and then use ffmpeg to extract the audio.  Something like:

$ ffmpeg -i input_video.flv recording.mp3

to make a file called recording.mp3.

That's clearly not an easy process, though.  Seems like it would be
easier to record from Skype.  Do you use Call Recorder?  I find it
pretty painless.  You shouldn't need to do anything in GarageBand, if
you only need to match the quality of Hangouts -> YouTube.

My thinking here is that I would record interviews via Google+ Hangout, and the YouTube video would be out there and available. However, I don't want to abandon my audio-only listeners. I was thinking that I'd strip the audio out of the video, and upload it as usual, so that the audio is available as a podcast feed on iTunes, etc.

And, I should point out, with the way that Google+ Hangouts are recorded, I'm not controlling that video recording by any type of client software. It's all automatic via the cloud and then automatically uploaded and available as a video file on YouTube.
