This is a complicated story but one that must be told. I\’m not sure there is anything that can be done about it except rage at the moon…
But it needs to be told none the less.
Did I mention it gets complicated? It does, but it does so for a reason. Let\’s introduce the starting lineup.

If you keep searching for applications to download the youtube videos or you keep searching for the firefox addons to download the embedded the video, then this is for you. Ofcouse that is the case, only if you do not want to copy it after you have watched it in the browser :). If you have already watched it then you can copy it from the Firefox cache. I will post on that later for now lets see youtube-dl.
Lets download it first:
sudo yum install youtube-dl
Now when you want to download a video then all you need to do is
youtube-dl URL
This will work only if you can watch without logging in to your account, if you need to login then you should provide your username and password, like so:
youtube-dl -u username -p password URL
The problem with this is that the file will be saved with not so useful name. If you want to save the file with appropriate name then you can save the file with the title name:
youtube-dl -t URL
There are few other options worth looking at, specially :
-f FMT, –format=FMT
video format code
-b, –best-quality download the best quality video possible
-m, –mobile-version
alias for -f 17
-d, –high-def alias for -f 22
If you have multiple url\’s to download then place all the url\’s in a file, and then use the command:
youtube-dl -a filename
Hope this is useful to you.
