Catchvideo.net

im sorry... catchvideo.NET

I tried using the above site (it;s now called OnlineVideoConverter.com

It can convert youtube video. I only have to drag the mp4 file into my iTune and it plays from iTune really well BUT the only problem is for some reason, the video won't sync into my iPOD.

Any suggestions??

Thanks in advance!

it's a free download and simple as, nice GUI and works very well

Afaik all the apps listed above reencode the audio to save the audio as mp3.
iExtractMP3 however, claims and seems to extract the original mp3 contained in the flash file, which means there's no loss of quality due to reencoding.
http://osx.iusethis.com/app/iextractmp3

I used this, chose my destination and clicked extract, but I didn't get the mp3 file. It says it's done and would I like to open the output directory, but there's no file.

Hi,

I've tried your method, but it only converts the first minute of the flv not the whole file....What am I doing wrong?

After much misdirection from forums I found this worked. It requires a double pass in VLC (otherwise it only grabs the first 30 sec or so) but it works fine after that:

Open VLC (which is ACTUALLY free, not like most quoted rubbish)
File>Open File
Select the file using "Browse"
Tick "Streaming/Saving"
Click "Settings"
Click the radio button for File and browse to make a working file "working.mpa"
Select Encapsulation "mpa"
Tick Audio in the third box down and specify ".mpa" and 128kps, channels 2
Click Ok and Ok (wait while it works)

File>Open File (the one you just made)
Select the file using "Browse"
Tick "Streaming/Saving"
Click "Settings"
Click the radio button for File and browse to where you want it and name it with ".mp3" on the end
Select Encapsulation "Raw"
Tick Audio in the third box down and specify "mp3" and 128kps, channels 2
Click Ok and Ok
Might need to wait a second while it does it's thing.
Now open the final file in iTunes.
