Please post the full output of python youtube-dl http://youtu.be/AVqsLU3LQyE --verbose.

Curious one ... Downgraded back to py 3.4.0 to check if the error pops as well but worked fine so reinstalled py 3.4.1 and now I can't replicate the issue. Seems to be working fine.

Ok, I'm closing it for now. But if you find the problem again, please post the verbose output and we will reopen the issue.
