Easy way to download video from Youtube

[Mahesh Mohan M.U]

Type

sudo apt-get install clive

in the terminal window. It will take less than a minute to install the
package. Then go to youtube using Firefox and copy the URL which you
want to download. Then return to terminal and type

clive <video URL>

Downloaded video is saved to your /home directory.

I'm searching this for a long way. Early, when I was in Windows, it
can be done easily using software's .

So I like to share this for newbies to GNU/Linux.

[aashiks]

For sites with flash videos : If you are using firefox, then just let the video
play till it ends. Then go look in the /tmp directory. There will be a file
that starts with 'Flash' . Just copy that file.

Since an easy way to download YouTube video was discussed, I just
thought I should ask how to save streaming audio.

Hi,

Online transfer of videos from youtube.com  is possible through
 http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/online-YouTube-video-download.htm

I have found this quite successful a number of times.

[Sebin Jacob]

Youtube is opening up video downloads, very soon. They have already made it available in Obama's ChangeDotGov Channel.

As Google videos, in which downloads were available from the launch is stopping the video uploading function soon and as competitors like vimeo are giving it, its only a matter of time, youtube incorporated it.

regards,
Sebin

You can also try the  python script youtube_dl from
    http://www.arrakis.es/~rggi3/youtube-dl/
I some time use it along with  screen to download in the background.

Hi
Have a look at this thread.

 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-capture-streaming-audio-626876/

Streamripper , Mplayer  are some choices you can have,
 http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/

There are several streaming formats and   each may require a different method.

Is it legal to rip streaming audio?

Thanks. I shall see.

Of course, a lot of things we do are not strictly legal. But let us be
careful that they are not immoral.

I use the gnome-sound-recorder or simply the sound recorder. I use it
to record songs played in online radio's. Let it play and i will
simply record it.

I set the "record from input" choice as Mix and just press record.
Mute your microphone when you record.

That's it. Save it as ogg.

Simply GNU ;)

My sound recorder does not seem to have the Mix option for input. But I
tried with Capture. It recorded, but the sound quality had deteriorated
significantly.

Thanks, anyway.

Firefox addon is a good one. You can download youtube videos and
similar ones and have them converted directly to avi or any other
format.

You can get the necessary flash player for Linux from adobe's website
as a tar package. On exctracting it you will find the necesary
instructions for installing.I believe you should change to the
directory where you extracted the package and then run the binary file
as root

I think I used .tar.gz.Its been a long time. But I don't think that it
will make much difference.

Yes its proprietary but will gnash work with sites like youtube. They
