TacticalRooster22 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 It's me again! I want to record sirens off of YouTube videos, but I don't know a program. I thought there was a topic about this before, but I searched and couldn't find it. Yes, I Googled it, too. I just want to find a website where I could just plug in the URL and the video will be converted to .wav format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggcarton Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 You could use Any Video Converter and it will convert it that way, or you could use Audacity and record from the stereo mix (Windows) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 If you use firefox just get Download Helper Add on and you can download the files to your hard drive. If its an FLV file you can use FLVExtract to extract the audio and video in to separate files. I forget if the audio will come out as MP3 or WAV, might depend on the file. If its an MP4 you can use Yamb to extract the audio and video to separate files(1 for audio and 1 for video) then run the audio through Audicity to convert it to a Mono WAV file.

TacticalRooster22 Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Thanks guys! I think I'll use eggcarton's, because I already found it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 To each there own but this method does help preserve some quality,which is important imo because your taking audio from a lossy file type and converting it to a lossles audio file type, which in theory is absolutely pointless the devs should have used mp3 because in this sake, your taking compressed audio and encoding it to an uncompressed(higher quality) file type. Sorry for the tech rant Anyways in theory, may result in a smaller file size which will in return cause faster loading time depending on file size difference.

TacticalRooster22 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 WOW! That's what I was looking for! Something I DON'T have to download. Is there a way that I can delete part of the video? I only want the part with the sirens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacticalRooster22 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Okay, so I used zamzar.com to convert the video into a .wav file. I downloaded nd renamed it to Siren02 and put it in my LA MOD folder with all the sirens. I started the game, clicked the siren button on my fire truck. Siren01 worked fine, but Siren02 came up silent. The file's 27.3MB, so I can't upload it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacticalRooster22 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Is it the Download Helper that you were talking about? And how do I know if it's a Stereo File? Anyway, I'll give Audacity a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
