Question: How to download YouTube using YouTube video Id?
$vid = 'iHp5veCNPVw'; //the youtube video ID
$vformat = 'video/mp4'; //video/mp4, video/webm, video/mp3 et.
$fileName = 'downloadvideos';//File name, downloadvideos.mp4
parse_str(file_get_contents("http://youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=" . $vid), $info); //decode the data
$streams = $info['url_encoded_fmt_stream_map']; //the video's location info
$streams = explode(',', $streams);
foreach ($streams as $stream) {
parse_str($stream, $data); //decode the stream
if (stripos($data['type'], $vformat) !== false) { //We've found the right stream with the correct format
$video = fopen($data['url'] . '&signature=' . @$data['sig'], 'r'); //the video
$fullFileName = $fileName . '.' . str_replace('video/', '', $vformat);
$file = fopen($fullFileName, 'w');
stream_copy_to_stream($video, $file); //copy it to the file
fclose($video);
fclose($file);
echo 'Downloaded Path: ' . __DIR__ . '/' . $fullFileName;
break;
