Video to MP3 (from the FAQ)

December 8, 2014 / Giza Developer /

Hosting for video is free at Youtube, which keeps Giza costs affordable for members. By contrast, audio hosting at any podcast provider costs based on the accumulation of mp3 audio files and how many people listen to them. Each listen adds to the count. Technically, if a member clicks to play a video, then clicks through to the version on youtube itself (via the youtube logo), they’ll get a youtube URL. There are sites (we can’t guarantee they aren’t spammy or full of malware) that purport to convert youtube URL’s to mp3. They may sometimes fail if youtube updates their system and the site doesn’t keep pace, but some people have reported success with them. We can’t advocate them and be in good stead with youtube – it’s up to the individual to decide for themselves. Fortunately, the company that owns youtube – Google – provides a search: http://bit.ly/1wsNmwo

    For most PCs, I recommend Any Video Converter. http://www.oldapps.com/any_video_converter.php

    It’s easy to copy/paste a URL into and download, just select the output file format from the drop-down menu on the upper right.
