youtube2dvd — Script to Make DVD From Youtube Videos

I’m lazy, so I scripted the moving parts from the howto that I wrote which described how to build a dvd from youtube videos.

The script is easy as pie to use.

Ingredients

Recipe

Initial setup
  • Make the script executable (chmod +x youtube2dvd)
  • Edit the script, and change the first line to point to the location at which you saved youtube-dl.py, i.e. 
    
YOUTUBE=~/scripts/youtube-dl.py

Using the script
  • Create a text file which lists, one per line, the youtube videos that you want to be on your DVD, e.g.

    If you want, you can supply titles that’ll be used in the dvd menu, e.g.

    
http://youtube.com/watch?v=m2W5MjMGa14 Witching Hour

    Note that you do not have to supply a title for every video. Punctuation may screw things up.

  • Save the text file, and run the script, e.g. 
    youtube2dvd mylist
  • You’re done. The DVD structure is now awaiting you.

Please post problems, suggestions & improvements to the script to the comments section.
