I want a way or a software to download youtube videos or any other videos online like Internet Download Manager in Windows.

How can i get it ?

Thanks

easiest way I found was just to use a website that extracts video online.

youtube-dl is probably in your repo.

A shell script to stream to mplayer while downloading (modify as you like)

Code:

#!/bin/sh



echo "Enter URL"

while read URL

do

mplayer -cookies -cookies-file /tmp/cookies.txt $(youtube-dl -g --cookies /tmp/cookie.txt "$URL")

done

or after it downloads

Code:

youtube-dl -f 18 --get-url http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abcd | xargs mplayer

Look at the source for the page and get the URl of the video file.
Also look at
http://www.google.com/search?q=rtmpdump
http://www.google.com/search?q=wget

Firefox extensions
Flashgot
Downloadthemall
Download Flash and Video
Video DownloadHelper
Flash Video Downloader

There are similar extensions for Chrome/Chromium.

If you have Java installed and functioning correctly, you can use SaveVid.com or KeepVid.com.

I will second this extension. I use it and it has worked fabulously for me

If you've got a Java runtime installed, you could also use JDownloader as a standalone tool.
