I hope You help me! Thank You for this php class :)

Hi Juris,

First of all, thank you for your appreciation.

One of the main features of using a streaming server is to make sure the media is not being copied.

Having said that, in case of youtube.com there is an other way around.

demo.dmwtechnologies.com/YouTubeDow ...

You can fetch a download link from the above by using a cURL call.Also there are other classes availble which extracts the download link from the youtube URL.

However, if you still face any issue, let me know I'll provide you another solution.

Best Regards,

Yes, it is easy to download flv file from Youtube :)
But is it possible to download a .3gp file directly from Youtube?

I can get video using mencoder:
mencoer rtsp://rtsp.youtube.com/youtube/videos/JpBGRA6HHtY/video.3gp -o done.3gp -rtsp-stream-over-tcp -xvidencopts pass=1 -ovc xvid

but it takes a while to download 3gp file from Youtube in this way...

Yesterday I tried to use cURL:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$LOGINURL = 'rtsp://rtsp2.youtube.com/ChoLENy73wIaEQko8veyeciXWhMYESARFEgGDA==/0/0/0/video.3gp';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$LOGINURL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookie\cookie_file");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookie\cookie_file");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER,
"http://youtube.com");
$fileContent = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
echo $fileContent;
$file = fopen('test.3gp', "wb");
fputs($file,$fileContent);
fclose($file);
?>

But I got blank screen. I think cURL don't "understand" rtsp protocol...
