industri_studios · #93 10-22-2007, 08:31 AM

iTunes can do the conversion...

how do you do that with streming audio / do i need software to change it from streaming to mp3 audio thanks don't know to much about steaming audio

It's not streaming... 99% of the things you watch online are in fact just downloads that start playing before they are finished downloading completely.

If you ever see a progress bar that fills up to the end, you know it's a download, not a stream.

If you get the "Unplug" addon for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2254) you can scan any page for downloadable media. It works like a charm for the stuff you see on uwlive, except for the Croc videos, which may in fact be actual streams. (Not sure - i'm not 100% knowledgable about this stuff, but i can make my way around.....)

Yes, the Croc videos are streams.

0to9:

The Phonestraps are not streams.

Use the Firefox addon I described above to save the .mov file to your hard drive. Or, just use the various download links that people have posted in this thread.

Example: http://www.underworldlive.com/home/P...set/Ph6At4.mov

From there, you can do what you like. According to industri_studios, you can use iTunes to perform a conversion from mov to mp3.

Hopefully this just rips the mp3 out of the mov file without decoding/encoding it again. (If not, you'd be adding another layer of lossyness to the file). But it will work regardless.

Good luck

The audio on the .mov files is not MP3, it's AAC, so transcoding to MP3 would indeed be lossy re-encoding. You can use QuickTime Pro to pass-through the AAC track to an MP4 container to get a straight .m4a file. I imagine you could use MPEG-4 editors to extract it also. I have used YAMB before on MPEG-4 files with great success.

I thought AAC was compressed... is the loss coming from a switch between two compression formats?
