Capture audio directly from YouTube (YT) vid using VLC
Capture audio directly from YouTube (YT) vid using VLC and without first downloading the video. I have divided the steps into two procedures. It seems long and complex, but once you’ve done it a time or two it’s easy. This was done using a Win 7 computer:Step 1:
- Copy to the Win clipboard the video URL from YT.
- Load VLC, use Ctrl-s to get the Open Media dialog box.
- Click the Network tab, paste the URL into the network URL entry field provided.
- At lower right, click the Stream drop-down arrow and choose *Play*.
- When the vid starts to play (if it does–some YT vids seem to be protected and will not stream/play), pause it with VLC’s Pause button.
- Press Ctrl-j to open the Current Media Information dialog and choose the Codec tab.
- In the Location entryfield near the base of the dialog, select and copy the entire very long URL string. This is tricky, because the cursor will not appear when the mouse pointer is clicked in the field.
- Click there anyway, pretend the cursor is there, and press the Home key to get to the far left end of the URL string.
- Then do Shift-End to select the whole string, then Ctrl-c to copy it. Close the dialog box.
- Then, back in the VLC window, click the Stop button to entirely stop the playback and clear VLC for the next procedure.
Step 2:
- Do Ctrl-s again, choose the Network tab, and this time paste the new long URL into the network URL slot.
- Then use the Stream drop-down to choose *Convert* (NOT Play).
- In the Convert dialog, to the right of Profile choose Audio – MP3.
- For Destination file, click the Browse button and browse to the target folder and enter a name for the .mp3 file-to-be and give it a .mp3 extension.
- Click Start.
- VLC will now convert the vid to audio at about 2-3x the usual play speed but with no sound. The usual progress bar will display progress in the VLC window.
- When it’s done, your .mp3 file should be in the specified folder.
- Done. Close VLC.
You will notice the audio extraction process happen as it is indicated by the player’s progress slider as it start the process. Once the slider reaches the end, you can now browse to and locate the destination audio file you saved it.
The size will be low and the MP3 file can be easily copied to your smartphone, music player or any other mobile audio playing device.

The conversion from video to audio is not just limited to MP3 format. You must have noticed other formats in the convert dialog. The profiles that come by default are Vorbig (OGG), FLAC and CD. You can also select WAV as the encapsulation in the conversion profile editor.
There are also several audio codecs like MPEG Audio, MPEG 4 Audio (AAC), A52/AC-3, Vorbis, Flac, Opus, Speex and WMA2. These are advanced audio formats and just MP3 would be enough for the most of us.
