Description

So I've got two problems but only one of them is important.
The first one is that youtube-dl does not extract descriptions. This error shows every time and I don't really mind.
The important problem is that I could not download a YouTube video I had wanted to. I tried youtube-dl --verbose -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stdYgxgJ5IE but with no success as the end line is "Watch this video on YouTube. Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner."

How can I fix this?
