QUESTION: What is the least-expensive (prefer FREE) way to get my G+ HOAs converted to #podcasts and upon which services/software should I rely? How steep is the learning curve? I have 9 episodes archived as MP4s and on Youtube which are video/audio and it has been recommended that I also create plain podcasts of the audio. Each video is one hour.

Ideas, referrals, experiences, warnings all welcomed. I have zero budget (still unemployed) but lots of time and somewhat good tech savvy (I can learn). 

Thanks! Please EM me: sallyember AT yahoo DOT com with your responses.

    Hi, Andrew Hatchett : I'm looking for a way to have a site hosting the podcasts for free or inexpensively so people can access my archived HOAs' audio-only much the same way they'd access a video. Seems to be what some people want.

    Sally Sue Ember I don't really play with audio or video that much. I'm sure that Terry Leigh Britton  or John Brown  or Scott Scowcroft would have better insight as to what would be most helpful to yo.

    Sally Sue Ember I just confirmed that Video Pad Video Editor from NCS software will allow you to "split" the audio off your MP4 files and save it as a WAV file.  Lots of other conversions posible. I prefer Audacity for audio editing (free for Windows and Mac) once you've split the WAV file off the MP4.

    John Brown Actually, you can open an MP4 video directly into Audacity and then save it as an MP3 file after editing it! (I only learned that last week by trying it!)

    Terry Leigh Britton not to hijack this thread but how did you open the MP4 in Audacity?  When I tried, it said it was an Advanced Audio Coding File (unsupported).

    John Brown Go get the FFMPEG library. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#ffdown

    Audacity is free and allows you to import audio from your downloaded mp4 files

    John Dunn Ah, yes, John! I'd forgotten about https://archive.org! What a tremendous resource!
