Download Youtube video is a Konqueror service menu to download and encode youtube videos.
This is a hack of another service menu that stoped working (at least for me): http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=37509
Main features:
- Download videos with the KDE file copy dialog instead of using KGet
- Automatically encode videos with mencoder, or just download
You can use ffmpeg too, just comment out the right lines in the python file, Im unable to encode some videos with ffmpeg, so mencoder is the default

Who to use it with Firefox:

Now I will explain you how to get it working with Firefox,

First we need a Firefox extension called: Lanchy,
this extension give us the ability to open directly from Firefox Youtube video on youtube webpage (not on all webpages that have a youtube video!

You ALWAYS need the youtube videos webpage! After you have installed Launchy (from firefoxs addon site), restart Firefox, now it will ask you to insert a Launchys button on your toolbar (DO IT! so open Youtube videos will be very simply), after that go on the preferences/option of this extension and uncheck the option: "search automatically programs".

Now copy the "launchy.xml" file that you found on the package and copy it on your directory:
".mozilla/firefox/YOUR_ID.default/chrome/" , after copied it, please dont forget to edit it with your myvs.py COMPLETE PATH, and add or delete oppurtune option to pass to the script.

Now restart again firefox an watch if it recognise the command (by pressing the G).

Go on youtube.com, open a video webpage, click on the G button-> Open in Mplayer Youtube Video Streamer.
