Downloading 1194 clips from hand would be horrible... so lets do it automatical... so I did a short hack for him, but this short hack needed another short hack. This wasnt good enough again, so put another hack on it... the result is the worst script I've ever written. Its a shame... its a pain to read it. Its horrible and inefficient. But it works! Don't read the source, you will become blind! You can find this bastard here.
Next time I will take another language and not sed... I promise!

After I wrote the hack above I took a part out of it to download movies/clips from youtube in the Shell. Its not that ugly... youtubedownload.sh

Benjamin Schweizer send me a better Version of this script: youtubedownload-2006-10-19.sh. It use curl and not wget. Thats why I diddnt checked it yet. It supports now Google Video, too. Source looks much better, clean and more userfriendly. Thanks for that. Perhaps I will add a wget option for this script sooner or later. The new script has also a fallback possibility, if the first downloadservice don't work.

It should be possible to add more from http://videodownloader.net/ (or http://www.videodl.org/) supported videoclip sites. You just need to change the grep regex. If you do so, send the diff to Benjamin Schweizer.

I don't know if any information or scripts on this site are illegal. So don't use any information or scripts from this page!
