How to get Audio/Video off a YouTube vid

Josh Ortiz (awesome keyboardist, plays w/ me in the Mari Solis band. Check it out on http://MariSolis.com) asked me how to get audio off a youtube video. It's not the first time someone has asked me, and cuz I dont feel like answering this question more than once so im posting it here lol.

If you need audio, complete all these steps. If you want the whole video, u can kinda end at step 3.

Step 1: Copy the YouTube video URL. Try to search for the best quality version u can find.

Step 2: visit http://KeepVid.com where you can paste the URL into a bar and the website lets u download the file. I'd choose the highest resolution available.

Step 3: Get MPEG StreamClip. It's an audio/video converter/extractor/player. It does pretty much everything so it's just a good app to have. Also it's free and legal. Get it here: http://www.squared5.com/

Step 4: Open MPEG StreamClip and do File > Open Files, and locate the file u got from Step 2.

Step 5: As soon as u got it open, u can click play to make sure u opened the right file. Now go do File > Export Audio. Choose whatever format, change AIFF to MP3 or whatever if u want. (AIFF is higher quality and really should just be used if ur making a musical production or whatever.) Otherwise MP3 will be just fine. Make sure u name the file something u can remember.

You're done :-)

Benjamin again

Benja: Did you know that spiders are like octopuses cuz they both have 8 limbs?

Me: That's cool... Is an octopus a fish?

Benja: no, they have their own family

Me: yeah, like the octopus family

Benja: No, the Cephalopod family.

Me: Oh.

On the train

Haven't written lately. The reason is because i haven't really been riding trains. That's usually when I'm sitting and my thoughts are louder than my surroundings. I'm usually alone on a train, and there's no way of calling anybody with no cellphone signal, so I just write. The reason why I haven't been taking trains is simply because I no longer have anywhere to go anymore. Doors aren't being closed anymore, they're being destroyed and turned into walls. That's a big fear of mine. To be caught in a riddle of a life. Like that riddle that asks: what would you do in a room with no doors, no windows, and nothing but a table and a saw? The answer: cut the table in half. Put the halves back together. Two halves make a (w)hole. Jump in the hole and escape. Hahaha. Ok goin to church now. Bye, blog.

semicolon

Benjamin asks me
"hey what's that thing that looks like a comma with a dot on it?"
He was asking about the semicolon. " ; "
I told him it's like a comma and a period at the same time.
"You'll use it when u get older".
He says "how much older?"
I answered... "old".

Mac Oh Ess Ex

so a friend of mine got an old white macbook. Doesn't have the greatest processor or an immense amount of RAM. We wanted to see what it would take to make this computer freeze.

He opened all of the following applications:

RAM-heavy apps are marked*

- iChat with the Screenshare function and voice chat*

- Quicktime streaming a 1080p video online**

- Safari with three tabs open

- Photobooth

- Skype (with a running video chat)

- Address book

- iCal

- Preview

- iTunes (with a song playing)

- iPhoto

- iMovie*

- iDVD

- GarageBand*

- Logic***

- Microsoft Word

- Powerpoint

- MSN messenger

- TextEdit

We ran all that and i was still able to watch the 1080p video on my screen which was running off his screen. No choppyness, no lag. No freeze at all. The fan went pretty crazy but that's about it. Proof:
