Under Settings, in Profile choose Audio MP3. To just keep the audio (music) of video files using VLC Media Player: Click on Media > Convert/Save CTRL + R. Instead of shouting, why not give an answer? Maybe it's youtube not videolan, fair enough.Probably it is, RealPlayer can't download them anymore and VLC is fine when I take a clip from a DVD. You’d be reducing the file size drastically. On the Play button, click the down arrow and choose Convert. To record the screen: Choose menu Media Open capture device. I still haven't found a simple answer to this simple question. You need to first choose the menu option View Advanced Controls. But why not just say "Doesn't record sound and video at the same time" or just give some advice about how to make it do so? Come on, if you're recording a video you can't seriously be expected to go through menu options and technical decisions about formats etc just to get the sound as well? I mean, isn't it obvious you want the sound as well? Okay this is a free product and a very good one, and I'm not going to start slagging people off. Why shouldn't I be able to record sound as well as vision? Play it back and you get the video but no sound. You follow the instructions, stream the youtube video, press the red button to record, press it again to stop recording.

Why fall out of your pram? It doesn't work.

If what precedes is right, then it's your wrong title ("No sound when recording VLC clips") that created the misunderstanding, but reading what you wrote ("This VLC_help person never seems to know anything") just got my blood boiling, because he's a great helpful person and deserves much more than this rude attitude. If my recording parameters are incorrect and I didn't check the "Record sound too ?" or used a bad codec before recording, ending in a video without sound when played later in Vlc, then I won't come in this Forum and complain "why does my video has no sound in Vlc" when Vlc has nothing to do with the "screen capture method" or "video capture method" I used with Snagit Personnally, I use Snagit to do some "image capture" or "video capture", as seen in the next pic. So it seems there is a total confusion between your title ("recording VLC clips") and the fact you're probably using another program to capture the videos outside Vlc (if I understand clearly what you wrote initially : "After finally figuring out how to record a video clip from the screen.") You answered him you're using the "screen capture method" which is probably a functionality of an external program, as explained here : That's why Vlc_help asked how you were recording them (using Vlc inner functionnalities, like Converting or the Red Button) Which means that you're recording parts of clips running actually in VLC, ok ? The title is "No sound when recording VLC clips" Now in this post you write vague things : I just checked all your posts and usually, when he or j-b answered you in the past, you never thanked them in the end. On the contrary, VLC_help knows a lot of things and is very patient. You got a lot of nerve to write negative things like that. This VLC_help person never seems to know anything.
