Downloading a Video

Method One:

You can manually visit a web form (the index.php file), enter a YouTube video id, and get in return a list of links showing the various formats in which that video can be downloaded. You can simply choose "save link as" or the equivalent to downloading the file.

Method Two:

Second, you can directly target the getvideo.php script, passing in a videoID and preferred format, and you will get redirected to the file itself.

Potential formats:

• best = just give me the largest file / best quality
• free = give the largest version including WebM, lower priority to FLV
• ipad = ignore WebM and FLV, look for best MP4 file

You can also pass in a specific format number if you know it.
