Thanks for reporting the problem. Your patch does not appear to work with the first video I tried:

Will take a look at this later.

This problem also occurs on some Youtube videos. Specifically Julian Smith's (juliansmith87) videos. Haven't tested any others yet.

@nivensd Can you give us a specific URL? I'm currently preparing automated tests, and I'd love to find problematic cases. Does the problem occur with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHlDtZ6Oc3s ? Also, which version of youtube-dl and Python (youtube-dl --version and python --version would be a good start) are you using?

Turns out I had downloaded the wrong version (2009.06.29) instead of the current version. Will download new version and try that.
Edit: It works now. Thanks though.
