YouTube Converter?

I was wondering if i could make my own youtube converter, i dont know how i would get the video from the link though, any ideas let me know thanks.

there are in fact a couple of threads about this already. It was determined that doing this is against youtube's terms of service, and no one of the forum is allowed to help because of that.

stripping certain text from a URL isn't against any TOS, so in order to do that, use:

vb Code:

Dim myURL As String = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOH-TBxC8DU"
MsgBox(myURL.Substring(myURL.IndexOf("=") + 1, myURL.Length - myURL.IndexOf("=") - 1))

That will strip the video's ID from the URL. What you do with it from there is up to you (which might be against the TOS)
