Free youtube videos on ipod software for linux

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

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.

PSP Video Converter project is a simple graphical frontend to ffmpeg to allow you to easily convert your videos to PSP compatibile format. Works for me, thought I may share.

Note: Created with Kommander 1.3, not sure if it works with earlier Kommander.

Note: There is no error checking for now, so make sure you have a working ffmpeg with necessary codecs installed.

Note: Looks like some PSPs cant open h264 videos encoded with ffmpeg.

Many users prefer Gnome Window Manager but cant go without Amarok. Gnome Play Video in Totem allows Gnome Users to view video or audio externally in Totem.

This is very useful for Video Podcasts.

GetVideo is a Firefox extension that allows you to download videos from YouTube and Google directly.

Unlike VideoDownloader it does not use a proxy page, and unoike unplug it does not create a layer over the current page.

It simply try to get the absolute video path and prompt for download it.
