About YouTube-dl
- Did you know that you don't necessarily need flash to view YouTube videos? You don't actually need to even visit YouTube to be able to watch a cool video that a friend gave you a link to.
All you need is youtube-dl, a neat program written and actively maintained by Ricardo Garcia Gonzalez which allows you to download a YouTube video directly as a .flv file which can be played with mplayer or VLC.
Just follow these three easy steps to download your first video.
1. Download youtube-install script
2. Run the youtube-install script in the terminal as root (e.g. sudo ./youtube-install.sh)
3. If the script says "youtube installed" you can start downloading YouTube videos like this youtube-dl URL where "URL" is your YouTube video URL.
