I am trying to copy the audio from some videos on youtube
i start vlc from the menu Applications/Sound & Video/VLC media player
with some youtube vifdeos it works
with some it fails
when it fails it hangs the system - no way to stop except by the power switch
when I look at /var/log/messages I find the following
Code:
Feb 5 16:38:25 localhost abrt[3330]: saved core dump of pid 3308 (/usr/bin/vlc) to /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-1296952704-3308.new/coredump (77025280 bytes)

POSTSCRIPT
I failed to give some details
Once in VLC I select Media / Convert/Save
Network tab
I enter the url - see above
next page
a file name e.g. mama.mp3
select MP3 from the drop down
start
it domes back and shows the name of the web site - but either hangs or dies - one or the other randomly
CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER
I have 2 Fedora14 systems - keep both up to date daily with YUM
The problem reported above is the newer system - a 2 year old Intel Pentium
I just tried it on the 10 year old AMD athlon - works fine ??
As I understand it, that the same kernel loads differently depending on the hardware.
