Helge Schneiders Telefonmann in einer brennenden Performance mit Stefan Raab als Höhepunkt der 1Live-Krone 2010. Total super und das Video kann man sich sogar noch im Web anschauen.

Über den im Bild markierten Link, gibt es auch eine recht hübsche, große Version.

Ich fand den Song sogar so toll, ich wollte mir den gerne als MP3 zulegen, aber zu kaufen gibt es den, AFAIK, leider nirgends.

Also: Selbst ist der Mann, Video runterladen, Ton extrahieren, als MP3 speichern, fertig. Zumindest war das mein Plan.

Leider, leider, klappte das mit der Goto-Lösung für solche Fälle, dem Video DownloadHelper¹,zu meinem Erstaunen überhaupt nicht. Normalerweise lädt diese Browser-Erweiterung völlig problemlos alles runter was nach Video ausschaut und bietet ausserdem noch einige Konvertierungsmöglichkeiten. Aber damit war hier einfach nichts zu holen.

Es war an der Zeit, andere Kaliber aufzufahren. Es war nun an dem Kommandozeilentool RTMPDump, das Video in einem genehmen Format auf die lokale Platte zu bannen.

Nach dem Klick geht es etwas geekig zur Sache. Wer sich ungern mit Versionskontrollsystemen, Makefiles und einer Shell beschäftigt, klicke einfach nicht auf weiter…
