More time on /boardless time on /links. That's the rule.
Also, in all seriousness, I can't check how VirtualDub will do things because I'm running a Mac and my Windows machine is hundreds of miles away. But it used to be able to do a direct stream of the audio into a new file so it probably still can.
I'm assuming, by the way, that you've downloaded the video you're wanting. If you've not, the easiest way (on Vista or 7) is to get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, plug one end into your line out and one into your line in, unless it's one of these fucking horrible multijacks people are obsessed with in which case plug one into your speaker out and one into your speaker in. Then use a wave editor (Goldwave is ace, if you don't like it then use Audacity which is OK) to just directly capture the sound stream. The drawback is you'll have to play with levels to avoid clipping it like absolutely fuckery, and the audio is being processed so anything your sound card is doing will be captured, and you'll definitely have to reencode it again so you'll haemmorhage quality. But as a last resort, it works.

I edited my replyThis is called "brute force".
The way you can do it in XP is swap your recording source to "Internal loop" or something like that. That saves arsing around with cables. They killed that in Vista, allegedly to stop people recording internet radio.
I think I just burned my garlic bread. Bollocks. Laters.
