Hi,
Every now an then I come across a clip at YouTube that I want to have a
local copy of.
I know there are some YouTube ripper software, but the ones I tried are
either too clumsy or too crippled.
All I want to do is to download the flv file behind the link.
I would like to roll my own to do that and I dont really want to subclass
IE or Firefox to do it.
Does anyone have any Delphi code snippets that I could start off with. |

I am pretty sure Firefox (version 2.x I think) has a Video downloader addon
that can do this
cheers,

Plus it redirected me to their external site.
I have tried about half a dozen others from mozdev
and they are all --more or less- same.
That is why I am looking for a windows utility
or roll my own --that way I would have only
myself to blame :> |
