The case
What the recording does not give you
The FFmpeg library of Audacity imports the audio of most video files, so the sound of an AVI file is taken out without a converter. That is the part that depends on the AVI; everything after it is the work of the blog post, and it is the same for every recording.
Tips
The sections of the blog post are the same for every recording.
Mark the language of the speech of the AVI video file.
Take the file of the AVI video file as soon as you have it.
The FFmpeg library of Audacity cannot open a file that is DRM-protected to work only in a particular software.
The preview of Google Drive is a scaled-down version of the complete file.
