Thank you for your post, it worked. My VLC version is 3.0.20 so the UI is a little different but not hard to figure out the differences. Cheers!

Do you know how to convert a Youtube video directly to an audio MP3 file? I want to just have the sound from the YT video I like. Thank you for the very clear instructions.

hello David, I tried your method it's great. The only problem is the converted file audio is not as clear. It has pitch problems. is it something done wrong during downloading

So why doesn't this work for me ? It just creates empty mp3 files of 0kb

I keep getting an error: "Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL [URL] Check the log for details."

Thank you for your video. I have a video that is 1:54hr long and VLC is only converting 3minutes.. do you know a way to convert the whole video to MP3 file?

[VSD]

I downloaded VLC, but it doesn't look anything like what you are using.

[greatsax]

Nice....but how do you transfer the Video (on Youtube) to VLC. You seem to have the downloaded link already on your computer. How do you get that VIDEO to your VLC?
