Video Format Options

[tinyapps]

Thanks so much for crafting youtube-dl.

You may want to consider adding more information to the "Video Format Options" in the README file, as discussed here:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=605311

It might be nice to include a short list of formats, like:

WebM 480p: 43
WebM 720p: 45
Mobile 360p: 18
H264 720p: 22
h264 1080p: 37

or perhaps link to a list of them, like:

I have to agree with the above. In the readme it lists a -F option which seems to not be present any longer, and this option was supposed to list formats, which would be very nice to see.

I believe this issue to be resolved quite a while ago: -F will list the available formats for a given video allowing the user to then select the desired format using the -f option.

I am closing this now, please comment if you believe I've misunderstood the issue and I'll reopen it.
