Anyone Here Know if VDownloader is ok to use with Linux?

I didn't have any luck downloading videos with the firefox extension I used to use and I found a simple way to do it--just insert the word "kiss" (without the quotation marks) in front of youtube in the url. For example:

http://www.youtube.com  /watch?v=cmVXYOJzAJM (I had to insert a couple of spaces so it wouldn't hotlink)

is the url for a Dan Fogelberg song called Same Old Lang Syne . If I insert the word kiss in front of the youtube in the url, like so:

http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=cmVXYOJzAJM

it will take you to a page where you can download the video. Pretty nifty I think. But on that page they advertise VDownloader and I wondered if anyone here had any experience with it. I know that you can do a bash script to do the same thing (if you understood them well enough that is, which I don't). Right now this is the most simple method I have found but I am always looking for the best/easiest way to do stuff like that. Thanks.

never used that tool before

i use jdownloader alot

if i copy the address if the video you provided jdownloader offers me all this options to download



i use this solution because i don't want to depend on firefox or his extensions anymore, jdownloader just analyzes the clipbard and offers options

it is not perfect but it does the job

That looks like a good option--thank you.

I downloaded that from the repository and now can't find it--where is it supposed to go? I am pretty sure I checked everything in the start menu or whatever it's called, even things that were not logical, but I didn't find it.

jdownloader should be in kmenu under the internet menu

the first time it runs it will download lots of tools to handle different servers

Ah, it is indeed there. I guess I overlooked it. Thanks again.
