This article will show you how to extract audio from FLV files like YouTube videos using VLC Media Player. (Free from videolan.org) Just for reference, I am using version 1.1.11.

Upon opening VLC Media Player, click on Media, then on Convert/Save.

In the File Selection box, click Add, then browse to your FLV file.

Click the Convert/Save button.

Browse to a location to save the extracted audio file and type in a filename.

In the Settings box select the “Audio – MP3” encoding profile from the drop down box. You can also choose OGG, AAC, or FLAC if desired.

Now, click Start to begin encoding. The slide bar will progress until encoding is complete.

Enjoy!

I was going through some old files of mine when I happened across this piece of work to the left.  I made it using the Make-O your own Stinko game over at Homestarrunner.com about a year or so back. It’s quite an amazing and crazy website, by the way. Check it out!

I always laugh when I see this strip. I’m a sucker for fart jokes. Well, there will be more of those in the Toilet section! Who knows? Maybe I’ll even make a follow up for this strip! In the meantime, laugh it up!

Update!

I have some more strips to add to this story.

To be continued! (Maybe…)
