## Getting Started

Here's a small sample to help you get familiar with libvideo:

```csharp

using VideoLibrary;

void SaveVideoToDisk(string link)

{

    var youTube = YouTube.Default; // starting point for YouTube actions

    var video = youTube.GetVideo(link); // gets a Video object with info about the video

    File.WriteAllBytes(@"C:\" + video.FullName, video.GetBytes());

}

```

Or, if you use Visual Basic:

```vbnet

Imports VideoLibrary

Sub SaveVideoToDisk(ByVal link As String)

     Dim video = YouTube.Default.GetVideo(link)

     File.WriteAllBytes("C:\" & video.FullName, video.GetBytes())

End Sub

```
