</div>After the youtube video has completely buffered, copy the<br>
/tmp/Flashblahblah file to something like ~/file.swf, and convert it to<br>
an avi:<br>
<br>
$ mencoder file.swf -o file.avi -oac mp3lame -lavcopts<br>
acodec=mp3:abitrate=128 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=2:bitrate=1600<br>
<br>
$ vlc file.avi<br>
