+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
+the command line. Usage instructions are easy. Use youtube-dl followed
+by a video \s-1URL\s0 or identifier. As an example, consider:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& youtube\-dl "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foobar"

+.PP
+The video will be saved to the file \f(CW\*(C`foobar.flv\*(C'\fR in that example. Many
+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
+recent version of ffmpeg can play them. That includes MPlayer, \s-1VLC\s0,
