Feature request "-F".

[bat999]

Hi
I use youtube-dl, it's great.
Recently I've also tried another program named "cclive".
From here:- http://cclive.sourceforge.net

It's no better than youtube-dl (imho) but it has an option:-
$ cclive -F [url]

This finds the formats that are available for a YouTube video.
Like this:-
$ cclive -F http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNWfaJS7FmU&feature=related

Result:- Checking ... .......... ......... done.
fmt05_240p|fmt18_360p|fmt34_360p|fmt35_480p|fmt43_360p|fmt44_480p

Then we can use the chart on Wikipedia to decide which is best for our needs.
Here:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube#Quality_and_codecs

Then:-
$ youtube-dl -t -f 18 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNWfaJS7FmU&feature=related

Is there a chance that sometime a "-F" option could be added to youtube-dl?

EDIT !!!!
I've just seen issue #181 "-L", I think this will do the same job. :-)

Actually, I think -F is nicer, because we already have -f for format selection. This is indeed a duplicate of #181, which will be merged shortly.
