Hello Brett, In general, video and audio are not separate. In order to play a lecture, Gnash downloads a single file that contains both video and audio. They cannot be separately downloaded.
So this is something that would need to be tackled by YouTube itself. That said, if you do have access to your university, it might be easiest to install a Firefox extension that lets you download YouTube movies directly. Then you could download the lectures while at the university and carry the lectures home on a USB drive, for example. Bastiaan On Thu, 18 Feb 2010, Brett wrote:
Hi, I often listen to university lectures on youtube. I think the web allows great opportunities, for those without access to traditional schooling, to educate themselves. However, many such people do not have access to high internet bandwidths. My suggestion is: can Gnash be modified to stream only sound (no video) from sites like youtube, so it is listenable/downloadable on very low bandwidths? I don't know enough about streaming to know if this would make any practical difference to access. Most of the time the video is just a professor wandering round a stage anyway, so can be safely missed. And often the slides can be downloaded seperately (eg MIT opencourseware).
