  1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUrrLaF5aUY

    I tried to download this with youtube dl. It says no video format available. I think its a series of photos wit the sound.

    I tried to stream/concert to mp3 with vlc. I only want the sound as mp3. A quick flash of the first photo is all there is.

    To just download the audio from a Y/T vid:

    Choose 'best' audio format with lowercase f:
    Note: be wary of using bestaudio option in this scenario - better to choose specific number

    Code:
    youtube-dl -f 140 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUrrLaF5aUY

    To grab/convert the Mp3 version as you said you only wanted the sound in this specific format (you will need ffmpeg.exe https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ in same folder as youtube-dl, or a specified Path in Windows environment table:

    Code:
    youtube-dl --ignore-errors -f bestaudio --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUrrLaF5aUY"
