Audio from Sky+ to MP3
I have a recording on SKY+ (some comedy standup show) that I'd like to get onto my IPOD (Audio only!) so that I can listen to it in the car.

I do not have a video recorder (connected or in the same room) but do have a camcorder that I could get the video onto and then from the camcorder to the PC via Firewire - I could then get the audio using a ripper type program.

Programme is approx 1.5 hours long I think with adverts so I don't need a perfect cut/splice.

Anyone got any great ideas on how I can do this? Easily and preferably with a decent bit rate so it sounds OK

Re: Audio from Sky+ to MP3
if the sky+box has scart or rca output, you should be able to run a cable from this directly into line-in on your pc. you can then record from there.

I does have one (or at least I can take an output from my amp)
I have a laptop (to ease moving a PC) with mini-jack connection so fine there

Any ideas on what software product I could use to take the audio of this length?

Re: Audio from Sky+ to MP3
wndows sound recorder might be up to the job, but there are far better alternatives.

winamp can do it (input:Nullsoft CD/LineIn Pluin, Output: Nullsoft Disk writer) but its a bit of a faff.

i'm told Audacity is good, and freeware to boot
