There are some sites which help to download/save videos when you give the link. How do they do that? I ask it because I want to save videos from different sources directly to my virtual hosting area with a code. I want to do a fopen-fwrite operation, but I don't know the sources, for example of the Youtube videos. Thanks Tolga.
If you want to download the videos (in FLV) format, from YouTube, this can be accomplished using PHP. On the other hand, if you want to convert them into another format, such as AVI/MPG, you will need to use external libraries (such as FFMPEG and FFMPEG-PHP), but you need to be your server admin (or VPS admin) to be able to install this. Hope this helps, Jay
