YouTube Downloads - Which Software?

[Jem]

Thanks Guys, i've downloaded the one Tony recommended and it works a treat.

Here's a little video on holography, it's one of the files I wanted to download (& have now succeeded ).

Also, I just love Steve Earl & Copperhead Road

it's necessary to have list in CSV file with youtube url, author and the title but then it can download more files

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
# download script for youtube

infile=$1

cat $infile | while read line
do
url=`echo $line | cut -f1 -d";"`
echo "Downloading: $url"
/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl $url
done

for file in `ls *.flv *.mp4 *.webm`
do
code=`echo $file | cut -c1-11`
input=`cat $infile | grep $code`
author=`echo $input | cut -f2 -d";"`
title=`echo $input | cut -f3 -d";"`

echo "Processing: $file"
echo "Author: $author"
echo "Title: $title"

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i $file -metadata "author=${author}" -metadata "title=${title}" -ab 192k -acodec libmp3lame "${author} - ${title}".mp3
echo $?
echo "mp3 generated..."
done

rm *.flv *.mp4 *.webm
