Programming and Scripting :: Script for downloading Youtube videos

error 303 is supposed to be there. I get it always. Maybe busybox wget exits on that, but full wget does as it should and redirects there?

The 303 error is there because of the php script (get_video.php) at youtube that redirects to their content subservers. You probably never get 303 errors in your browser, unless you encounter a site with broken redirection chains, because browser engines handle that in the background. With wget, probably regardless of "real" wget or busybox, you get raw output. The 303 error isn't related to the wget script, it's on youtube's server side.

Bottom line is an empty file. I've used apt-get's wget and the one that comes with gnu-utils.

I never got this script working but I didn't try to run it as root. Maybe the php script isn't working anymore? Anyway I really don't download many youtube videos so I have been using this link to download: http://www.kissyoutube.com/watch?v=prjQ7MwuCWI

Does anyone know what program converts flv to divx?
