## 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
```
