Thanks! I was just looking for something like this, wanted to get some cool Honda engine sounds, and maybe a bit of Ecstasy of Gold.
I am not able to play the audio on rhythm box or Mplayer. Any suggestions?
Thanks. I actually got it working.
cool, fast and easy… In the Ubuntu way…
Thanks a lot!
Yet another useless piece of software … Open the Youtube site, and after the download is complete do
ffmpeg -i /tmp/Flash /path/to/where/you/want/the/file.mp3and you’re doneCan this rip ‘HD’ version of YouTube videos?
mplayer -dumpaudio nodame_theme.flv -dumpfile nodame_theme.mp3
Will there be HD Ripping in the next Version? PLS
Thanks dude, posting Anda sangat informatif, nice post!
No package for Intrepid?
UTube is really a very useful application, but after downloading I am not able to find the downloaded file by browsing, as you have shown above. Please help, as to what to do.
I’ve tried using this program but it doesn’t seem to want to work. I’m using Ubuntu 9.04…I put in the url, clicked convert and it says that its completed and in the ~/utube folder. However, when I go into that folder it says that there are zero files in it.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
I have the same problem as Sean above… file is not downloaded, even though it says download complete. Using ubuntu 9.04.
I have Ubuntu 9.04 too and I have similar problem, but trying to download a few more times, somehow it worked. S. and g. - try to clear directory, while downloading or “fake downloading” (you know what I mean:)) check the directory, if there is a temporary file then it’s all ok and the video will be downloaded successfully.
But it’s not always working, so the problem is not solved.
Ha, if you give the flv file name “video” and place it in ~/.utube converter will work in 100%
and you can download from YT in thousands of ways (example: UnPlug)
