#!/bin/sh
# This script downloads YouTube videos and converts them
# You will end up with an MPG video and MP3 audio of each YouTube movie
# You need to install the following two programs:
# youtube_dl and ffmpg

# Use this script at your own risk!
# Make sure that you understand how it works before you use it!

# USAGE:
# Make a file called videos.txt with the URL of 1 YouTube video on each line.
# Don't leave any blank lines in the file
# Put the videos.txt file in an empty folder along with this script
# run this script with the following commands:
# $ ./youtube_downloader.sh
# It will take a long time to run, depending on how many videos you have in your videos.txt file.

# while read inputline
#do
# youtube_url="$(echo $inputline)"
# youtube-dl $youtube_url
# done < videos.txt

# Convert the flv files to mpg and mp3 files
for i in *.flv
do
# ffmpeg -i $i $i.mpg
# ffmpeg -i $i -ab 128 -ar 44100 $i.mp3
mplayer -dumpaudio $i -dumpfile $i.mp3
# rm $i
