Hi,

Youtube-dl doesn't work for some videos like:
youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4ARBzok9aU

I am copying the result as well as the version of my ffmpeg. I use Ubuntu 12.04, 64bit. I have recently updated my ubuntu by "sudo apt-get update"

I would appreciate if you can help me download this video.

Thanks.

We need to add '-strict -2' to ffmpeg options.

[aac @ 0xa95ec40] The encoder 'aac' is experimental but experimental codecs are not enabled, add '-strict -2' if you want to use it.

Now we also use avconv for downloading m3u8 manifests, so systems that don't ship with recent versions of ffmpeg and use avconv will work.

sudo youtube-dl -U

I also tried

The version with the fix is not yet available, but you can do the following in the meantime:

  1. youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4ARBzok9aU -g, copy the url that's printed and run this command.
  2. avconv -i 'PASTE_THE_URL_HERE' -f mp4 -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc video.mp4.
    Sorry for the confussion.
