Feb 22, 2009 4:58am venkateshkum... User	Hello! Let me first thank you for the time you have put into making this wonderful script. I have a small suggestion to make. Is it possible to replace the file name to the title of the page? While downloading multiple videos from youtube, it becomes a PITA to manually rename the files one by one. Thank you for reading this post!

You can manually rename the file before downloading it by right-clicking on the download link and selecting "save link as" (or a similar option).

So on the page it would look like: Video Author - Video Title - Video ID Download as MP4 And we could copy the proper file name info, right click on the link to save the file, and then just Ctrl-V before we hit 'Save'.

Maybe I could copy the video's title to the clipboard when you click on the download link, but not all the browsers allow a script to do that (Firefox is one of the browsers that require permission for accessing the clipboard).
