_Kurt Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hey guys, I was wondering if it's possible to convert an flv file (from youtube) to an mp3 file (audio). I don't want an external program, I wish to do this silently through a script. Anyone have an idea of how to do this? If not, does anyone know a website that can do this for me, I can then use _IE* functions to complete this task, make sure this website works (some websites don't, i.e. vixy.net). Thanks, Kurt Awaiting Diablo III.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it converts or just saves or what, but... Nobody needs a job. Not much, anyway. Before you need a job, there's a lot of other stuff you need. More or less in order of how badly you need them: AIR, WATER, FOOD, SHELTER, CLOTHING, COMPANIONSHIP, and ACTIVITY. You've been led to believe you need money to "pay" someone else to provide those for you - all but AIR, so far. How long is it going to be before you have to "pay" for AIR, too?

_Kurt Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) Thanks longtex,are there any people who know how to actually convert filetypes? I really doubt someone does, just wondering..EDIT: KissYouTube.com is currently down until further notice Edited October 1, 2007 by _Kurt Awaiting Diablo III..

I really doubt someone does, just wondering..EDIT: KissYouTube.com is currently down until further noticeEven if all they do is save the file, I'm guessing (a) they're swamped and (b ) youtube isn't any too happy about them...Hell, I'd love to be able to save some of the stuff in a format that'll go on a DVD and be playable... I'm definitely keeping an eye on this thread. Actually, I think I'd be pleased if there turns out to be a way to queue up several vids in a row and just watch 'em (I think my DVR might record them if they come out the S-Video port on a notebook...) Now all I need is a notebook! Edited October 1, 2007 by longtex Nobody needs a job. Not much, anyway. Before you need a job, there's a lot of other stuff you need.

_Kurt Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'm not looking for an external program, and internet pages using javascript/php to convert it needs a path to the flv file or a direct URL to the file. Can't seem to explore my Temp Internet Files, example:#include <Array.au3> #include <File.au3> $a = _FileListToArray("C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files") Local $b[UBound($a)-1], $c = 0 For $i = 0 To UBound($a)-1 If StringInStr($a[$i], "get_video") Then $c += 1 $b[$c] = $a[$i] EndIf Next _ArrayDisplay($B)The _FileListToArray seems to fail (since the folder is hidden).I'm 100% sure the flv files are stored there, do a test and check for yourself by:Firstly, browse to any YouTube video (doesn't matter which one)1. Click Tools>Internet Options2. Under Browsing History, click Settings3. Within the new window, click View Files4. Now in your file browsing window, click View>Arrange Icons By>Size5. Scroll down to the bottom of the list, and there you will see the get_video files6. Copy/Paste the file to a different directory (i.e. My Documents)7. Rename the file whatever you want, but with a .flv extensionYou now have the FLV file, you can convert this file using applications or php scripts from the web.Now, the question:How can I do this through a script?

_Kurt Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Are you looking for the right files? If you view for instance file.ext then IE will save it as file[1].ext.I think I have the correct filename, but regardless, I just want a _FileListToArray to work, or maybe anything else that will be able to a) find the correct file copy/paste the file to a different directory (i.e. @TempDir). Also you may want to see the super-hidden files thread.I tried searching the forum for a thread relating to that topic, none found. Can someone point it out? Thanks, Kurt Awaiting Diablo III..

_Kurt Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 I'll check out Zamzar.com later, thanks for sharing. once you have them as a mp3, what do you plan to do with them?Excellent question. My answer: Listen to them It's a great way to get free music, and very convenient. Oh, and just wondering, how can you convert this line of code into autoit (I believe it's in VB) Const TEMPORARY_INTERNET_FILES = &H20& What would it be? Const $TEMPORARY_INTERNET_FILES = ;??? Autoit is the only scripting language I know. Thanks, Kurt Awaiting Diablo III.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therks Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 As far as I know H20 is the same as 0x20. So try Const $TEMPORARY_INTERNET_FILES = 0x20As for the file listing, are you sure you're looking in the right directory?My temp internet files folder is here:C:\Documents and Settings\Rob\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5And then within that, there are multiple folders with random names (5JR7AJWE, AHBA3100, MYUJBSTL, etc) there are actually 28 folders in there right now with a grand total of 5831 files across them all.I was easily able to get the contents of the folder:#include <File.au3> #include <_Variable.au3> $path = 'C:\Documents and Settings\Rob\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5' $a = _FileListToArray($path) cw(_VarDump($a))Which returned:Array( [0] => Integer(30) [1] => String(8) 0EEY4777 [2] => String(8) 18CBH1SD [3] => String(8) 3H1UXQO4 [4] => String(8) 51VE97YI [5] => String(8) 5JR7AJWE [6] => String(8) 6IOVN4AB [7] => String(8) 6W03W1J8 [8] => String(8) AHBA3100 [9] => String(8) AJXDGUCO [10] => String(8) AK45XP05 [11] => String(8) C2H5731F [12] => String(8) CC5H5AR2 [13] => String(11) desktop.ini [14] => String(8) DOE28WU1 [15] => String(8) FCUUKRDY [16] => String(8) H9C7BDKC [17] => String(8) IK4YIWM0 [18] => String(9) index.dat [19] => String(8) J7CSOSU7 [20] => String(8) K4T1QTQP [21] => String(8) KEEZ59QF [22] => String(8) LBHBJWZ4 [23] => String(8) MYUJBSTL [24] => String(8) OYV1U3VQ [25] => String(8) OZ0LIB9C [26] => String(8) P3P1MLVM [27] => String(8) Q9POBBJV [28] => String(8) RRUXF7YI [29] => String(8) U1PFKHNJ [30] => String(8) V01CJW09 )I changed the path to C:\Documents and Settings\Rob\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\0EEY4777and got a full file listing.I'd say use code like my example, then go through each folder and find what you're looking for. It might take a while, but it should work. My AutoIt Stuff | My Github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might take a while, but it should work.You could also use one of the _FileListToArray functions with recursive search. Or, I have a recursive folder search function that will return just the folders so you can use a standard FileFind proceedure against each folder.EDIT:@KurtThe thread isToggle Hidden and Super hidden filesAlso just a late thought here. If you are using IE and you have it set to clear the Temporary Internet Files on Exit (like I do) then the files MAY no longer exist after you exit IE. I say MAY because IE (like everything MS) is horrible at proper cleanup. Edited October 4, 2007 by GEOSoft George Question about decompiling code?

dabus Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 ffmpeg -acodec copy -i $FileIn $FileOut. That's easy, eh? You get ffmpeg with nearly all linux-distros. For Win32 binaries, have a look at super (converter gui that uses mencoder, ffmpeg and such as backends) or search a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquelinana Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) I think using a free online tool would make things much easier.😳 I use 2Conv to download YouTube videos to MP3 and MP4. Sometimes I would also use Joyoshare Screen Recorder as an alternative cause it is able to save any length of a video and audio in pretty high quality. Edited January 13, 2021 by Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
