in reply to YouTube Video Downloader

A thing that could be combined with this script that I find very useful is "mplayer -dumpaudio $file" which creates an .mp3 file - extracts the audio portion of the .flv for those music videos where you just want the music.

    Hi, that sounds good, mplayer is so powerful. I have noticed that You-Tube is getting more sophisticated in setting up their links, to different servers (maybe due to heavy loads from popularity?). It seems to be getting harder to screen scrape their pages to get reliable links. Maybe I'm just too lazy to try harder. :-)

    I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum
