Yes if sound is being played and you hit record it will save whatever you record as a mp3.



Of course videos that have audio will record both.
When you hit record.

If you want to extract the audio out of a video file you can do it like this:
It's similar to step 6.
Open up VLC.
Go to Media > Convert/Save.
Hit add and find your file.
Hit Convert/Save
Then under profiles choose Audio - MP3 or whatever audio you want.
(You may need to click on the options button next to profiles and change the encapsulation to WAV)
Then hit start.

Absolutely brilliant guide mate. I'm going to start using the RAR, download online vids and record tips from now on. Thanks again

Thank you very much for this info.

I've used VLC forever and I had no idea it had a ripper :|

Thanks! I never knew these things. Playing rar files is a useful tool.
I knew the 7th thing!( I feel proud of myself now)

Didn't think it had it in it, but my personal prefference is still MPC.

wow, this is just amazing !
i think vlc is trying to replace winamp and windows media player, and i think it is catching the first place ! It has so many cool options, it can open any kind of audio, video, it has blasting performance and of course, its free !

VLC Is open source and free. So I doubt the pool of developers are trying to replace anything, but it's definitely up there :laugh:

VLC is iffy, I recommend the CCCP codec pack in favor of VLC, use Media Player Classic!!
