Description

  • I tried to download a YouTube video from 2007 titled, Lord of the Flies: Castle Rock.
  • The editing suggests it has been exported from Windows Movie Maker.
  • For wherever reason, it raises an ExtractorError. I'm not quite sure if this is the result of an incomplete install on my part, or that somehow this really is an unimplemented file format.
