FLVto Converts YouTube Videos to MP3s, No Upload Required

FLVto is a web app with three buttons, one input box, and one simple-but-great function of converting YouTube and other Flash-based videos to MP3 audio files. We've shared a reader-submitted download-and-convert method, but FLVto makes the process pretty foolproof. Paste a YouTube or other video link (or upload an FLV file), hit "OK," then wait for your download prompt. The sound quality is only as good as the video's (as in mono sound, 60 kbps on one sample download), but with more videos going up in higher-resolution, stereo-sound formats, that could improve—assuming this app stays up and running. FLVto is free to use and doesn't require a sign-up.

I've got a program called Free Video To Mp3 Converter and it does the same thing but you can get higher quality mp3s(up to 256 kps). It works great and I've never had a problem with it.

The file may say 256 kbps, but it is only as good as it's source in reality.

 

[Smitty]

Yeah but the video doesn't have to be off of youtube. It could be any video file you have.

 

[TONY206]

You can use whatever .flv file you want on the website and it gets the audio at whatever the source rate is.

 

[Smitty]

I know that. But you can get audio off of your .avi, .wmv, .mpg, etc files too. It works the same as the other program but it does more.
