whoops add -dumpfile between the flv" and "...mp3"

Job done.  Audacity is wonderful. It could not import .wav files though.
It thought they were suspect and imported them as mp3. What would be the
best quality of file format to import presuming mplayer is best to
convert the audio? Mind you, starting with Youtube might have put
serious limitations to begin with.

VLC seems to be able to separate video and sound when playing flv files
but I don't know how to use the information it shows me about
the /dev/video and /dev/dsp video and sound devices. Presumably there is
a simple script to create the separate files?

We will be doing this again - many times - my wife enjoyedd it too - we
may have a convert - my daughter watched (I put Ubuntu on her desktop in
a new partition and might by stealth get her at least to try it as she
thinks win2k is too slow!) She has to deliberately select windows as it
boots.

Thanks
