Do you want to download YouTube’s Flash Video files?
youtube-dl is a small command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com. It requires the Python interpreter, version 2.4 or later, and it’s not platform specific. It should work in your Unix box, in Windows or in Mac OS X.
Usage:
youtube-dl -o your_local_name.flv http://youtube.com/watch?v=nNkqKdLm1rU
If you want to log in on youtube and download, you can use the -u and -p switches.
When the download is finished you can open the video with mplayer:
mplayer your_local_name.flv
or choose a media player that play .flv files.
