Thank you for the report. Support for mpora (both better titles + format selection for other videos as well as support for the dirt or other embedding sites) has been added in youtube-dl 2014.07.1. Type youtube-dl -U (or contact your package maintainer) to update.

Thanks for the fix. Found another which breaks things, has an embedded vimeo in the page: http://dirt.mpora.com/news/cyclocross-transition-style.html. I get the impression the pages are fairly arbitrary in layout and choice of video tech...

[phihag]

On that page, they're embedding a vimeo video in a new form. I've added support for that in youtube-dl 2014.01.08. Type youtube-dl -U to update.

Sorry, at the moment there are problems with GitHub. As soon as these are resolved, we'll release.

2014.01.08 has just been released. Updating to it should allow you to download http://dirt.mpora.com/news/cyclocross-transition-style.html .
