    if you search google for 'rip music from youtube' the first couple of links all explain different ways to do it. Keep in mind this is probably an illegal practice though as the music will most likely be copyrighted.
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

    If you post a link to the video, someone may be able to track it down for you..
    The pen is mightier than the sword, and considerably easier to write with.

    I would think it is almost certainly illegal to rip the music from a youtube video and then play it in a public place at a wedding. Your best bet wouk dbe to track down a commercially available version.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Well, for all we know, that music may not have any copyright restrictions.

    @mummyyummy
    I would do the job in two stages.
    First, download the video from youtube onto your hard drive.
    Second, use some software to separate the soundtrack. I would use winnff for this job, but there are others. Winff:-http://winff.org/html/

    Great tutorial guy's, well done! :beer:

    You can also use a site like vixy.net or if you use firefox there is a plugin which you can click and whatever page you are on it downloads the video file from it.

    Think about the sound quality - do you really want some low quality mush from youtube played as you walk down the aisle?!
    If it's for something like that then I'd just fork out and buy the CD.
