Able to download/rip the video (.flv file) from youtube
Before this, if you play a video on youtube, the file (.flv) will be store in your "/tmp" (stand for temporary) folder. But now it is missing and I don't know why is it.
I do realize it happen after I update with my Update Manager
So, how do I rip (take) flv video from youtube right now?
The answer is by using Unplug. It is a "Firefox addon" and this addon is also available in Windows.
The link is here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unplug/
So after you Install Unplug in your Firefox, you can start ripping.
While you play the video right click in any place and menu will appear. Inside the menu will have "Unplug" and click it and download it in any folder
EDITED #2 (Feb 2010)
I search through the forums and found out it moved to here
But these location is more trouble some
/home/asipo/.mozilla/firefox/bf3zqtab.default/Cache
Or these for google chrome
/home/asipo/.cache/google-chrome/Default/Cache
Convert the FLV to MP3 using "FFMPEG"
You need to install FFMPEG and other additional library because your FFMPEG might now be "good enough" to convert into a different format
So you will need to install other library. I refer it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1117283
Thus, the code is
For Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat 10.10, Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 and Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-52
To script to convert is (type in terminal)
ffmpeg -i "justin bieber.flv" -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k "justin bieber.mp3"
This is still not good, now you want to convert a lot flv file to mp3. So in this case you need a bash script aka programming.
The source for this bash script was from here http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1430243
So the code will be
for f in *.flv
do
ffmpeg -i "$f" -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k "${f%.flv}.mp3"
done
Use this script and paste into a new document. Rename the document to "flv2mp3.sh"
After that make it executable
chmod -777 flv2mp3.sh
To execute this script use this
./flv2mp3.sh
p/s: Justin bieber is only an example
