Free home video software for linux

DVD Home Video Project is a tool that provides a simple, quick way to transform video on a DV camcorder into a fully functional DVD, including a menu with optional background images and music.

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
