[FOR YOUTUBE ONLY]:-
It’s easy. If you are using suse, then just open the terminal, become su and type:
zypper install youtube-dl
Exit su mode.
Then just go to the folder where you want to save the video and type
youtube-dl <url>
For other distros of linux, it depends on which package manager you are using:
Fedora–> yum install youtube-dl
and there is apt-get too–> apt-get install youtube-dl
You can play these files using mplayer and it works fine!
[FOR OTHER VIDEO SITES]:-
I recently found another command line tool that is even better than youtube-dl, it is called Clive. You can get clive and use it in the same way as youtube-dl. Through Clive, you can download videos from any site that offers streaming video, ofcourse you just have to know the video url. For suse;
sudo zypper install clive
For using clive:
clive <url>
There are a few command line options as well:
eg. with -o you can specify the filename by which you want to store the video that you download, with the -s option you can specify the path where you want to store the video.
