Is there some tool for downloading video/audio files from YouTube?
For a single file you can use this sh script:
#!/bin/bash
bu="http://youtube.com/get_video.php?";
read -p "URL to YouTube video? " ur;
read -p "Name of file to be saved? " nv
wget ${ur} -O /var/tmp/y1;uf=${bu}`grep player2.swf /var/tmp/y1 | cut
-d? -f2 |
cut -d\" -f1`;
wget "${uf}" -O /var/tmp/y.flv
ffmpeg -i /var/tmp/y.flv -r 24 -ab 56 -ar 22050 -b 500 -s 320x240 ${nv}.mpg;
rm /var/tmp/y.flv;
rm /var/tmp/y1;
exit
You need ffmpeg, of course. For multiple files you can loop this or
something...
Thanks to all. The command
ffmpeg -i get_video.flv -r 24 -ab 56 -ar 22050 -b 500 -s 320x240 out.avi
works fine.
I remember using something similar, but the resulting video looks much
crappier than the original .flv
I found
ffmpeg -i input.flv -ar 48000 -ac 2 output.mpg
giving much better result, probably because there is no rescaling...
