download the video from youtube using any of a variety of plugins (one
click to download, no hassles), then open the video in quicktime player
and extract the audio track (or delete the video track).

OK, fine, got any facilities you would recommend that would download a 
lecture that is one and a half hours? 

Indeed, I would much prefer a way of getting the soundtrack that did 
not involve playing the whole thing on my Mac and capturing the sound, 
as one bit of software (that has been suggested) can do so ably from 
my initial tests.

i use fastest tube, but there are many such plugins.

usually they add a download link below the youtube video. click it and
it downloads the video

often, there's a choice of what resolution video to download and
sometimes a choice of format, but if you only want the video, there's
little reason to download anything other than the lowest resolution.

you don't have to play it. just download the video, open it in
quicktime player, extract the audio and save it to a new file, then
listen to it whenever you want.

Yes, I was praising this this feature, comparing it to where audio is 
captured from the Mac sound system. I am assuming now, since it is a 
critical criterion that you have plugins that will download *long* 
YouTube videos.

I am trying to get the fastesttube, after doing it, and going to 
YouTube it says "You are using the old version of FastestTube. Please 
update it from kwizzu.com.". I did that but the same thing happens 
every time. And it does not appear in my plugins in Safari.

the plugin doesn't care how big it is. all it does is download the
actual content on youtube's servers and turn it into a movie file,
possibly transcoding it.

that's weird. mine is 2.2.0.1, dated december 23, 2013.

there are also dedicated apps that can download youtube videos. the
drawback is it's not integrated into the browser.

I am on Snow Leopard. I don't mind if it is dedicated or not, as long 
as it works easily and can be installed ok.

the safari plugin works for me, so i've never tried the dedicated apps.

one is called tube sock, which is an awesome name, but i have no idea
if the app is any good or not. i saw it demoed at macworld several
years ago.

Ah... after a bit of fossicking in my Safari, it seems I *do* have 
some sort of add-on or plug-in, that *sometimes* puts a "QT Player" in 
a rounded rectangle on YouTube videos. If you click on this rectangle, 
it causes the film to load into and fire up QT7. 

Which is great because then I can just export the sound, choosing 
'none' for video option. The facility does the downloading and playing 
in QT. I don't actually need to play it, as you will know, I just 
export. It works on a test I just did.

I just forgot I used to have this "open in QT" facility. I got this 
facility in order to choose the exact size I wanted the film to play 
on my screen (not possible on the YT site afaik). 

Weird things are happening. Sometimes "QT Player" does not appear but 
"HTM5" does instead. This just happened on reloading the same YouTube 
video on YouTube! 

I need to sort all this out. I think the extension involved is 
ClickToPlugin 2.9.1. The ClickToPlugin prefs (able to be accessed by 
right click on a YouTube page) are very complicated with many panels. 
Maybe there is a PHd. course for it.

Typo corrected and ... exciting up to the minute news: I located the 
setting to make it "QT Player" rather than "HTML5". I will see if it 
remains stable.

Too bad you didn't check out RealDownloader as I suggested. Pretty sure
it would be right up your ally. Oh well. Your loss.

I have RealDownloader installed as part of Real Player, and it
automatically keeps track of any videos on any web pages I visit with
Safari in a neat little window so that I can just click a "Download"
button next to them to grab them at any time (even long after I've
closed the browser window). I find it pretty handy for this sort of
thing. Depending on your needs, it may be overkill, or it may suit you
just fine. You can get it here, if you're interested:

What quality do you need in the audio? You could use the Audio Recording
menu item in QT Player 10. Crank up the volume and leave the room while
it's dubbing. It will sound a bit off-mic, but should be perfectly
understandable. I've been doing it with video files and can hear them
just fine.

Yes, I know about this, but thanks for mentioning it anyway.

It reminds me of the time I used to record radio programs with a 
microphone on a little tape recorder, all of the devices on a timer 
plugged into the wall. It worked! I sophisticated to one more level 
after a while, I connected the radio output jack to the recorder input 
with a cable.

When podcasts came along, it was like getting a car with air 
conditioning and good sound proofing and decent wipers. <g>
