Download Any Youtube Video

There are many online sites that claim to offer the same functionality as youtube-dl but many of them are currently broken either due to neglect or youtube has fixed the exploits that they are using.

youtube-dl

youtube-dl is a python based Youtube downloader. It's cross platform and all it requires is python 2.(x>6). After downloading the latest file you have to open a command line and there are many options for the program but you only have to paste the video url and it will download the file in the highest possible quality.

youtube-dl -t http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR7Fyn-KPck

In the case above the -t option will name the file using the page title, in this case it would be "More_Theatre_of_Life_Breaking_Bad_Spoiler-tR7Fyn-KPck.mp4".
