Any youtube downloading software for Linux?

[RyanGreener]

Does anyone know of any good youtube downloading software? I usually use youtube downloaders in Windows as my main source of getting music when I find HD/good stuff on youtube, but I'm not sure if Linux has that ability.

Thanks in advance!

Browser extensions work just fine for me:

Opera extensions
Firefox extensions
Chrome extensions

I've had good results with the "YouTube Without Flash Auto" Greasemonkey script.

My Video Url preference is set to "Raw Url" if get_video is still buggy.

[Edit] I got ninja'ed. 😛 His suggestions look good though.

I'm using Chromium, and the add on I chose links me to a web service instead. I'm looking for an actual program if possible.

Aren't the videos stored in a temporary folder? Seems like you could just copy them, although they'd be .flv.

I generally use youtube-dl from the cli, but I haven't had the need in a pretty long time.

Completely unnecessary. Just grab it from whatever temporary file directory the browser is set to.

Can also try cclive from cli, is what I use when needed. Like Nothinman, I haven't needed in a while.

A co-worker of mine was in a short skit type thing with Neil Patrick Harris that was on vimeo and wanted a copy for himself, I used a firefox extension to peel it out for him, they work pretty well.

Think there is a addon for at least FF. Not sure on other browsers though.
