Is there a way to save the audio, from a youtube video, as a .wav or .mp3?

On the premise that whatever your computer can 'PLAY', your sound chip controls the sound.

Therefore, if you stream video into your system from any online source, while it is streaming - the hard drive is doing nothing (apart from spinning :) ).

Download and install Hi-Q Recorder:

If you run it BEFORE you start streaming the video clip, you can set it to 'Record' direct to MP3, before the sound-clip begins.

After the recording is finished, put the recorded MP3 into Audacity

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

and trim the beginning and end of the file to remove the silence periods.

It's a very useful occasional tool for clips of sound that you cannot source any other way.
