youtube converting in Linux?

[Fredrik Larsson]

Hi,

Since I am a heavy lynx user, I defined some external_menu items for http 
url scheme so I can run youtube-dl conveniently. It might be better to 
define a download option instead but this works nicely. I press the dot 
character and see some menu options so I can also define a wget option to 
use for large ftp downloads for example.

I don't have a script ready to run the downloaded flv file through a 
player but many options have been discussed here for this and I think it's 
nice not needing to remember youtube video IDs and playlist IDs etc.
