    Tried your program, and it downloaded the flash video-file well, but when i used it (your command for ffmpeg) the output was an empty .avi-file.

    The EASIEST way-
    just get the media pirate extension for firefox. Go to firefox-tools-extensions-add extension and get it.

    I wrote the attached script to do it usage is ./dlv.sh LINK ie: ./dlv.sh http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DsxJwqezf_w will download hawkwind s chronical of the black sword to the current directory. I find its easier to keep a script updated than a full program for something this simple.

    personally i would suggest just doing:

    sudo apt-get install youtube-dl

    and then type: youtube-dl <linkofvideo> in the terminal! easy enough.

    As you may already know youtube-dl is no longer working.

    Looking for fix or replacement now.
