Dowloading flash normally requires installing a stupid Adobe download manager. Who needs a download manager for 2MB? Here is the direct link to the installer.

UPM is a forest company. They have a website about forest life. Check it out; it’s breathtakingly beautiful, its usage of Flash second to none.
(By the way: just as I was about to hit “Publish”, I was greeted by the sound of a Green Woodpecker from our own, private nature sanctuary.)
I wanted to convert an Flash Video (flv) file from YouTube to MP3. The first tip I found essentially streamed the original file into a different file:
ffmpeg -i filename.flv -acodec mp3 -ac 2 -ab 128 -vn -y filename.mp3
This is a bit awkward, because not all flv files have the same quality (some are mono, for example). I don’t want to have to look up the number of channels (-ac 2
in the example) for each file that I need to convert.
Luckily, most flv files include an MP3 audio stream and ffmpeg can simply copy that stream to a new file:
ffmpeg -i filename.flv -acodec copy filename.mp3
This works perfectly and is much faster than the other method.
