If you are searching a good tool to download videos from YouTube, I think PyTube will be suitable to your expectation. You can convert the videos directly to various selected formats.
What you need to run PyTube?
PyTube need GTK+ version 2.12.x to run.
Plus, few dependencies, which are:
-
ffmpeg2theora
-
vorbis-tools
-
mplayer
-
mencoder
-
youtube-dl
GTK+2.0
PyGTK 2
Notify Python
Zenity
But, don’t worry, you don’t have to think about that stuff.

kemaren gw sempet ngobrol ama developer nya pytube (a.k.a “Marcosz”),
permintaan gw untuk memasukkan feature convert video to AMV format ,, dan dia bersedia memenuhi nya di release ter-baru yg akan segera dia published ..
I told him that , PyTube gonna be the First GUI Video Conversion in linux that is already support AMV format
FYI: AMV (Anime Movie Video)
Format Video utk MP4 Player made in taiwan yg murah meriah
