# You will end up with an MPG video and MP3 audio of each YouTube movie
# You need to install the following two programs:

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

# USAGE:

# 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
