Install youtube-dl

youtube-dl http://youtube.videos

install ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i video.flv -ab 128 song.mp3

gives you a 128kb bitrate mp3

install sox Sound Audio Exchange

and you can readjust treble bass gain
and do lots of other things with all kinds
of audio files.

Same here, 2 files are written to the .utube dir ,url.info and urlsrc.txt but these disappear as soon as the download is finished leaving the directory empty.

ClipGrab is totally useless. I tried it but the mp3 convertor function doesn’t work on Linux machines THe mp3 convertor only works on Intel Macs according to their website.

GlibCrap for all I care.

UTube ripper is a Youtube-Downloader wanna-be which sometimes does not work at all.

USE “ClipGrab”, available for all distros, easy to install, looks great and has a lot of features.

It simply works !

Unfortunately, this just does not run on 10.10. I have installed all of the Gambas packages and corrected the installation so the directory structure is in sync with the menu.

If it helps, running from the command line, I can see:

This sits there forever until I kill the application.

This looks like it could be a really useful tool so I hope you will be willing to sort out a fix.

For these of you that are not familiar with the runtimes in Ubuntu, this application is built to run under the gambas runtime environment.Depending on the configuration of your package manager(QTdebi,etc), this dependency may not be installed automatically.To do this,go to the Synaptic Package Manager, search for Gambas and install all it’s components.As an application built to run on the gambas runtime, a missing component for gambas will mean missing orr malfunctioning application components.

Ha, if you give the flv file name “video” and place it in ~/.utube converter will work in 100%
and you can download from YT in thousands of ways (example: UnPlug)

I have Ubuntu 9.04 too and I have similar problem, but trying to download a few more times, somehow it worked. S. and g. - try to clear directory, while downloading or “fake downloading” (you know what I mean:)) check the directory, if there is a temporary file then it’s all ok and the video will be downloaded successfully.

But it’s not always working, so the problem is not solved.

I have the same problem as Sean above… file is not downloaded, even though it says download complete. Using ubuntu 9.04.

By: Sean

Sean — Thu, 28 May 2009 03:48:41 +0000

I’ve tried using this program but it doesn’t seem to want to work. I’m using Ubuntu 9.04…I put in the url, clicked convert and it says that its completed and in the ~/utube folder. However, when I go into that folder it says that there are zero files in it.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

UTube is really a very useful application, but after downloading I am not able to find the downloaded file by browsing, as you have shown above. Please help, as to what to do.
