Anyone who has any recomendation for a program to download youtube videos and convert them to matroska files?

Google spams a lot of results, but I suspect theres a lot of trojans out there...

oh thank u smarty.

point is i dont know whats that and i cba to check it. also if i dont know what matroska is i wont help with conventer, what was the second thing he asked for.

go burn some cars.

Matroska files are usualy named .mkv

why .mkv?

ive used https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... oadhelper/ and found it very powerful

download the flv with something (keepvid, orbit downloader ...)

and convert it with

FFmpeg -i myfile.flv -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.mkv

flv has crappy quality... dl the .mp4

Matroska is my favorite format. I like to pretend .MKv stands for something else. :3
Ugh, such a narcissist!

"Matroska file types are .MKV for video (with subtitles and audio), .MKA for audio-only files and .MKS for subtitles only."

"Q: What file extensions does Matroska use?
A: We currently have 3 different extensions specified :
- .mkv : Used for Video files, as well those containing audio ( movies ) or video only"

Hmm... what would mkv stand for then?

omg you're stoopid !

MKV files make me angry because I can't play them on my PS3.

Shouldn't you be angry at your playstation?

DownloadHelper Firefox extension, then Handbrake. Pretty sure DownloadHelper itself has a built-in convert function but I wouldn't trust it with anything you actually want to archive or something.

I have a baseline hatred for Sony that is so fundamental to my self-image that I often fail to take it into account... it's too bad they happen to have made the best combination blu-ray/gaming/internet/media player on the market... grumble... (actually, the problem with the MKVs is me being unable to install a working transcoder for it on my linux based media-server... which is my fault, which is why I'm mad at the format and not Sony in this case)

lol, it's Linux, surely it works just as well as Windows

What you really mean is probably H.264 in a matroska container

The codec is pretty good but I cant watch it on my PAL tv + xvid dvdplayer.

Well there's your problem right there.
