I've been using VLC anytime I find myself wanted to download a YouTube video
and ripping the music out. It's a bit bit finicky to learn how to do it, but
then it usually works just great.
(I assume videos are just as easy.)

Subject: Re: [SkullSpace-Discuss] Cutting f4v files
I need to edit some f4v files into smaller files.
If support outside Adobeland for that particular container is better on
the import then export side, then there would be more options if the
smaller files output files don't need to be f4v.
Also, a slightly more tricky (but still do-able) problem if you're
trying to avoid decoding and re-encoding of the underlying MPEG-4
stream. Narrows choice of tool for sure.
I'm enough of a perfectionist that I'd want to pull off both switching
to a new MPEG-4 container and avoid re-encoding. Such magic has been
known to happen in my hands with VLC as a front-end tool sometimes,
though you'll have to pin me down...
Even though they're patent encumbered, I'm glad we've at least gotten to
a world now where the encoding/decoding schemes are mostly known and
standardized and where the outer level container formats holding them
are the largest source of pain.

Anyone remember Real Player?
I remember the days, where Real Player was the only way to play certain
secret formats. Long before YouTube and "podcasting" existed, I was
growing up as a teenager on a Real Player only diet of:
http://www.2600.com/offthehook/
and
DEFCON.org
Not having a portable music player until senior year (64 megabyte
capacity Nomad, was mp3 only anyway), I remember doing transfers of Off
The Hook to cassette tapes to take along for long high school bus trips
to the Banff Music Fest.
"And you're listening to WBAI in New York, its time for /Off The Hook/"
