+.PP
+To make a different directory work \- either for ffmpeg, or for
+youtube\-dl, or for both \- simply create the directory (say,
+\f[C]C:\\bin\f[], or \f[C]C:\\Users\\<User\ name>\\bin\f[]), put all the
+executables directly in there, and then set your PATH environment
+variable (https://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml) to include
+that directory.
+.PP
+From then on, after restarting your shell, you will be able to access
+both youtube\-dl and ffmpeg (and youtube\-dl will be able to find
+ffmpeg) by simply typing \f[C]youtube\-dl\f[] or \f[C]ffmpeg\f[], no
+matter what directory you\[aq]re in.
+.SS How do I put downloads into a specific folder?
+.PP
+Use the \f[C]\-o\f[] to specify an output template (#output-template),
+for example \f[C]\-o\ "/home/user/videos/%(title)s\-%(id)s.%(ext)s"\f[].
+If you want this for all of your downloads, put the option into your
+configuration file (#configuration).
+.SS How do I download a video starting with a \f[C]\-\f[] ?
+.PP
+Either prepend \f[C]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\f[] or separate the
+ID from the options with \f[C]\-\-\f[]:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+youtube\-dl\ \-\-\ \-wNyEUrxzFU
+youtube\-dl\ "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\-wNyEUrxzFU"

+.SS Can you add support for this anime video site, or site which shows
+current movies for free?
+.PP
+As a matter of policy (as well as legality), youtube\-dl does not
+include support for services that specialize in infringing copyright.
+As a rule of thumb, if you cannot easily find a video that the service
+is quite obviously allowed to distribute (i.e.
+that has been uploaded by the creator, the creator\[aq]s distributor, or
+is published under a free license), the service is probably unfit for
+inclusion to youtube\-dl.
+.PP
+A note on the service that they don\[aq]t host the infringing content,
+but just link to those who do, is evidence that the service should
+\f[B]not\f[] be included into youtube\-dl.
+The same goes for any DMCA note when the whole front page of the service
+is filled with videos they are not allowed to distribute.
+A "fair use" note is equally unconvincing if the service shows
+copyright\-protected videos in full without authorization.
+.PP
+Support requests for services that \f[B]do\f[] purchase the rights to
+distribute their content are perfectly fine though.
+If in doubt, you can simply include a source that mentions the
+legitimate purchase of content.
+.SS How can I detect whether a given URL is supported by youtube\-dl?
+.PP
+For one, have a look at the list of supported
+sites (docs/supportedsites.md).
+Note that it can sometimes happen that the site changes its URL scheme
+(say, from http://example.com/video/1234567 to
+http://example.com/v/1234567 ) and youtube\-dl reports an URL of a
+service in that list as unsupported.
+In that case, simply report a bug.
+.PP
+It is \f[I]not\f[] possible to detect whether a URL is supported or not.
+That\[aq]s because youtube\-dl contains a generic extractor which
+matches \f[B]all\f[] URLs.
+You may be tempted to disable, exclude, or remove the generic extractor,
+but the generic extractor not only allows users to extract videos from
+lots of websites that embed a video from another service, but may also
+be used to extract video from a service that it\[aq]s hosting itself.
+Therefore, we neither recommend nor support disabling, excluding, or
+removing the generic extractor.
+.PP
+If you want to find out whether a given URL is supported, simply call
+youtube\-dl with it.
+If you get no videos back, chances are the URL is either not referring
+to a video or unsupported.
+You can find out which by examining the output (if you run youtube\-dl
+on the console) or catching an \f[C]UnsupportedError\f[] exception if
+you run it from a Python program.
