Hi

just don't understand why youtube_dl CAN download video from link like this

http://someXXX.com/movies/1245355/someXXX_BLAHBLAHBLAHXXX_XXX.html

and CAN'T link like this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HkOj7labDaA

it is still have a video ID or something? after &v= ?

this link is from right klick on youtube player - "copy URL video"

It's working fine, could you post the output of running youtube-dl 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HkOj7labDaA' --verbose?, like:

If you are on windows don't use quotes ("or') and try again...

Since the url contains a & it must be escaped, on window I think you have to use " (instead of ') to enclose it.

thanks! that was my bad. sorry. solved. " works

On Windows, double quotes are required, because single quotes get served to youtube-dl. (Yes, cmd.exe is crazy like that). On other system, both double and single quotes are fine, unless the string contains a dollar sign (then you need single quotes). Since virtually no URLs contain dollar signs, double quotes should do.
