I appreciated the step by step. Have you had a chance to try this on a win32 platform? Good catch on the 12/5/2009 youtube changes. I am not sure the mechanize extraction will work on the win32 platform. What I am more interested in is identifying the embed code box on any website screen and extracting the object embed code, opening a flat file and adding the embed code at either the end or back where it came from. The flat file then becomes a database with numerical pointer reference index to video feed. The technology I have developed also hides address reference to tools like HTTPwatch which I know google is pursuing. You can see some of it in action on my site at http://nwufochasers.com or barring all of the above I could simply use a perl script that grabs data off a google searched screen. You got what I want for christmas, better programing skills and understanding of object linkage. Anyway thanks maybe we can chat sometime.
