Rip a Youtube video to a wav file very easily. This is a great way to get an audio copy of a Youtube vid to save to your music collection. Very useful way to get copies of quality music from the Internet and create a collection of music for free. Youtube-dl is the best way to achieve this.
Download and save the Youtube audio to a wav file with this simple command.
jason@Yog-Sothoth » Music » $ youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR8MJQEnpJc -o - | ffmpeg -i - -b:a 160k CSKewNVWD0Y.wav
Then encode the wav file to ogg with another simple command.
jason@Yog-Sothoth » Music » $ oggenc -q 7 CSKewNVWD0Y.wav -n Controversy.ogg
This encodes the wav file to a high-quality Ogg Vorbis audio file.
This is an example where setting a proper filename is required.
jason@Yog-Sothoth » Music » $ oggenc -q 7 omZEmFO8Duc.wav -n "Cisfinitum: District Delta.ogg"
