scraping videos from tube sites

I'm looking to scrape/rip/download videos in mass from a few tube sites.

I'm an experienced C# coder, but willing to look at any tools/techniques to get this done effectively.

Has anyone done this, or have some ideas on the best approach? Can a regular bot do this with some additional modifications?

Do you want to download it or just embed it to tube sites? If embed its pretty easy. Generate a embed template and replace it with video url everytime there is new video.

I'd like to actually download the videos.

I'm not a C# guy, but the approach is the same, regardless.

For each video you want to grab, you need to find it in the relevant page and download it. As I'm partial to Python, I'd do it with a combination of Python with CURL.

There is a .NET binding for CURL, which I am told can be used from C#. If you are going to do much of this, CURL is your friend. I can't post a link in this reply, but the main site for CURL is curl.haxx.se. Look under 'libcurl' for .NET

If you try it out and have CURL questions, I'll be happy to help. C#, not so much.

Good luck.
