When I try to download a normal Twitter video works fine. But if I try to download a Twitter video of a GIF (which YouTube converts automatically) I get this error: "ERROR: Unable to extract twitter card url;". Example:

This should work: http://twitter.com/ErnietheFT/status/657265991135698944/video/1
This should not: http://twitter.com/giphz/status/657991469417025536/photo/1

Twitter GIFs will be supported in the next version (cf5881f, sorry I mix two irrelevant changes in a single commit). Note that the downloaded file is MP4 even if twitter says it's GIF.
