I created this tool to download YouTube videos. This tool can save files in both AVI and FLV file formats to the local machine, so you can play the downloaded videos either using Windows Media Player or FLV Player (or any other player that supports one of these file formats). The application was written in C# (using Visual Studio 2008), using the standard .NET libraries.
Minimum System Requirements:
Windows XP Service Pack 2
.NET Framework 3.5
1MB free disk space
64MB RAM
The current release version:1.0 Beta 1
To download a YouTube video, just specify the URL or video ID, the saving path and the file format.
Please, post your comments, bug reports and suggestions in this topic.

I have found a bug! It does not work for me. Are you sure you are parsing the file format correctly for the .avi I got an error saying: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
Suggestions: 1)You should use your tutorial on sending email in c# as a contact form(for bugs/comments/etc) 2)Remove the Grip from the toolstrip.

This works for me however. What about the FLV file format?

First suggestion will be implemented in Beta 2. Thank you! Speaking about the second suggestion, what do you mean by Grip?

The FLV file does not work from what I am doing, What program would it work with I am using Flash.
And the grip is those 3-4 little ball things located at the left of the toolstrip(next to the start button)

FLV Player or FLV codec for Windows Media Player.

C#

yes it can. first click the toolstrip, then there should be a little black arrow inside of a white box on the top right of the toolstrip. click the arrow, then next to GripStyle is says Visible change it to Hidden.

As mentioned in the previous message, it's already removed.
I found out why the problem with the AVI file occurs. As it saves the file in AVI, it still encodes it in FLV, so you'll have to download a decoder for Windows Media Player. One of these is ffdshow.

Sorry didn't see that you already removed it, I must have missed it.
So thats why it wasn't working, OK well that's good because you figured out why it wasn't working
