Download page added

Added new page to download videos from YouTube. There are many sites that allow to download YouTube videos, but this also generates Nokia Mobile Code for each download, what makes it a little bit easier to download video to mobile phone.
Downloader supports both: embeddable and not embeddable YouTube videos.
You can find new page here, and it is available from the main menu of the site.

Youtube changed format for downloading flv video files

RSS Handler was updated to support new YouTube video download format. Previous format (Location header of http://www.youtube.com/v/#### with link to get_video.php) stopped to work and was redirecting to SWF player. 
New format is supported transparently, users of RSS Handler don't have to update their feeds and all links will work as is.

RSS Handler launched

RSS Handler is online service that allows to subscribe to YouTube RSS feeds and get feed of FLV videos.
Problems with usual YouTube RSS feed is that it provides content for online RSS clients, where each item is SWF Flash player. This is not very convenient for podcast players, where you can subscribe to feed, download it and watch videos later, while you are not online.
So far, service does nothing more than downloads requested YouTube RSS feed or channel and replaces links to SWF files with links to FLV files.
If you want to know more about FLV, podcast, etc. you may check F.A.Q. section or Google.
