Not working with ID's with special char hyphen

Hi!

When I try to download files with hyphen ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-2yB-U3Y8I ) I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

It works fine here:

Could you post the full output if you run the command youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-2yB-U3Y8I --verbose, to help debugging in.

The error is raised from the generic extractor, which shouldn't be run if you give the youtube url. Could you please post which command you run?

Hi!
Now I really can't do anything, since I messed with ffmpeg and everything
is broken :( :( :(

The problem is unrelated to ffmpeg. Can you elaborate what exactly is not working? The best way to do that would be just to post the full output of the command you are running here. Make sure to add -v (or --verbose) to the command line.
