U-tube has recently begun hosting various tv shows, such as Macgyver and
Star Trek. Is there any way I can download the audio in a high quality
format? I would prefer just to capture and save the shows directly from
U-tube, but I don't see any way to do it. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
RJ

I have used this a couple of times:

It just does what it says. The computer I installed it on hasn't shown
any signs of it containing malware.

Wouldn't the audio lose quality since it's converted to MP3? Of course, I
don't know the original format of these new CBS U-tube shows. They may be
MP3 to start with anyway.

I can't imagine the degradation of the shows' audio, if any, would be
audible. The Youtube server apparently converts the material to H.263
(see Wikipedia) anyway, which embeds the audio as mono MP3.

Using a website called "kick" (adding the word "kick" in front of utube), I
can download in MP4 format. Now, I am not familiar with audio compression
having used wave format, so can you tell me which is the better format for
audio purposes, MP3 or MP4?

Thanks Ron

Mp3 is an audio compression algorithm. Mp4 is for video. Other than
that, I can only refer you to the Wikipedia, unless of course the
experts on this forum want to share their views.

both mp3 and mp4 are scalable. The higher the specific data rate, teh better.

Audio and video posted on UTube is generally highly compressed before
downloading to save bandwidth and space on their server. Compared to what
happened when it was uploaded, most things that happen during downloading
are pretty innocent.

I can't imagine the degradation of the shows' audio, if
any, would be audible.

Right, it would probably be minor compared to the damage that was already
done during production and uploading.

The Youtube server apparently
converts the material to H.263 (see Wikipedia) anyway,
which embeds the audio as mono MP3.

According to TechVideoBlog, samples of youtube HD videos were 1280×720
- 2mbit/s H264 - full frame rate - 44.1hz stereo 254kbit/s AAC audio.

44.1 KHz 254 Kbps AAC stereo is pretty darn good. It might be degraded by
transcoding to MP3 unless the MP3 bitrate was at least comparable.
