NAME
youtube-dl - download videos from youtube.comSYNOPSIS
youtube-dl [options] url ...
DESCRIPTION
youtube-dl is a script to download videos from youtube.com.Once it is installed in your system, you should be able to call it from the command line. Usage instructions are easy. Use youtube-dl followed by a video URL or identifier. As an example, consider:
youtube-dl "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foobar"
The video will be saved to the file "foobar.flv" in that example. Many YouTube.com videos are in Flash Video format and their extension would be "flv". Other videos are encoded in H.264 and these usually have the extension "mp4". In Linux and other unices, video players using a recent version of ffmpeg can play them. That includes MPlayer, VLC, xine, among others.

- Specify the name of a file containing URLs of videos to download from youtube in batch mode. The file must contain one URL per line.
- -w, --no-overwrites
- Do no overwrite already existing files.

OUTPUT TEMPLATE
The -o option allows users to indicate a template for the output file names. The basic usage is not to set any template arguments when downloading a single file, like in youtube-dl -o funny_video.flv ``http://some/video''. However, it may contain special sequences that will be replaced when downloading each video.The special sequences have the format "%(NAME)s". To clarify, that's a percent symbol followed by a name in parenthesis, followed by a lowercase S. Allowed names are:
- id
- The sequence will be replaced by the video identifier.
- url
- The sequence will be replaced by the video URL.
- uploader
- The sequence will be replaced by the nickname of the person who uploaded the video.
- title
- The sequence will be replaced by the literal video title.
- stitle
- The sequence will be replaced by a simplified video title, restricted to alphanumeric characters and dashes.
- ext
- The sequence will be replaced by the appropriate extension (like "flv" or "mp4").
- epoch
- The sequence will be replaced by the Unix epoch when creating the file.
As you may have guessed, the default template is "%(id)s.%(ext)s". When some command line options are used, it's replaced by other templates like "%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s". You can specify your own.
