Hi

1. Not easily. You need a video player and an HTML interpreter.

2. Send a GET request to the file URL and save the response's body to your disk.

Could you give me some advice regarding the youtube video stuff?
Maybe link to a good library / player i could use for this.

Did you even try to find a solution on your own? ;)

Ebedding a YouTube video is a rather specific task, plus embedding videos is originally meant for the web. You could probably use something like webkit or awesomiun to get a HTML 5 player, but I can tell you, it won't be just a few clicks. ;)
