How to download all youtube videos listed in a .txt file

[Username2013]

Hello!

I have a .txt file which contains a list of youtube links one under another.
1. What do I have to do to get the videos using this list? Also to be able to download in medium quality.
2. Or if it's possible to download the mp3 version of each link.

Thank you!

Many options:

Copy and paste the links into a downloader like jdownloader (get the clean ad free version posted in the jdownloader forums).

or

Use a web service like KeepVid and copy and paste each link.

or

Use youtube-dl and write a batch script.

All of these choices let you choose the quality.

This assumes that you have the youtube-dl installed on your computer.

1. create your batchlist.txt file:

2. enter the YT script (below) when ready to D/L videos

example usage: 
youtube-dl -c --title -f best --batch-file batchlist.txt 

where
-f best       -- this will give you the 'best' format of the video.
#             -- is a comment. it, along with any text after it, is igored. i like to comment things, and add duration, etc. 

optional commands: 
-c    -- Force resume of partially downloaded files.
-t or --title -- i like to include the title and description (and sometimes subs) during the YT download.
--write-description -- for description of video.
--write-thumbnail   -- for the thumbnails images. 
--write-sub   -- download the subtitle during the YT download. 

debugging commands: 
--simulate    -- add this, if you want to test your script w/out actually downloading anything.
