-.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
-youtube-dl is a script to download videos from youtube.com.
-.PP
-Once it is installed in your system, you should be able to call it from

-YouTube.com videos are in Flash Video format and their extension would
-be \f(CW\*(C`flv\*(C'\fR. Other videos are encoded in H.264 and these usually have the
-extension \f(CW\*(C`mp4\*(C'\fR. In Linux and other unices, video players using a
