Get YouTube Video is a service menu for KDE.

Usage:
Right-click onto a link to a YouTube video or at the background of the YouTube site showing the video and choose action -> Download YouTube Video -> ...

Install:
cd ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/
tar xvzf /path/to/youtube-servicemenu.tar.gz

I made some modifications to the YouTube Service Menu. It didnt work for me, so I looked at the source. I added a differnent method to guess the video_id and I added additional parameters to the query string to download the video.

The query-string trick is:
video_id is a part of the site-url, in which the video is embedded:

video_ids = set(re.findall(www.youtube.com/v/([-A-Za-z0-9_]+), data))

or

m = re.search(video_id=(?P [-A-Za-z0-9_]+), data)

or

m = re.search(v=(?P [-A-Za-z0-9_]+), data)

Then I do:

url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%s" % video_id

Now url points to a site in which the video will be embedded, so I can apply following regular expression to its contens:

m = re.search(watch_fullscreen?(?P .*?)&fs=1&title=" + "(?P

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

File::Headerinfo::Video is an extractor of useful information from video files.

File::Headerinfo::Video uses Video::Info to read the headers of video clips (of various kinds) and a few audio files, and extract from them the useful information we crave.

File::Headerinfo::Video can handle all the types that Video::Info can handle, including quicktime files, mpegs, DivX, AVI and ASF files.

I like using Amarok for managing my podcasts but I wasnt able to play my video podcasts.

Amarok Video Player adds a PlayVideo/Play menu item to the context menu which runs KMPlayer.

Edit the script to change KMplayer to another video player.
