First, unless you update your packages list (if using synaptic its 'reload db' or something) you will NEVER know if a newer package is out there.
Second, I use those firefox (and mumble mumble (seamonkey? And other)) browser plugins. DTA (down them all), ant, and something else. They've worked fine for me..
Third, 2006 seems REALLY old for something like this. Indeed, if you go to
http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/ you'll see in the download section 2012.10.09. (which is also the only version, which seems mildly incongruous. Of course, the thing you download seems to be a binary file interpreted by python, which launches me into a 'huh? Gotta go figure THAT out sometime' mode ;-)

Mine shows the same copyright test although the package I got this am from the ubuntu software center installed /var/cache/apt/archives/youtube-dl_2012.02.27-1_all.deb. I get the same result as Michael although I can certainly play the video directly from the link included in the command line.
Mike, most programs have an option to display the version. According to the youtube-dl man page it should be -v but it does not work. It reacts as if you have provided wrong or insufficient parameters. I would say maybe look for a different package to download youtube videos which have better or more uptodate maintenance. Another option is to volunteer to help with the maintenance and/or documentation.

i just tried apt-get and it says my version is current. As for the version I'm not sure how to look that up. I did 'locate youtube-dl' and the only thing that might tell me is:

Mike - what version of youtube-dl are you using?
Lisa - same question.
That's my guess as to why it works for her and not for you. I'm assuming neither of you have anything 'weird' in your network setup...

What is wrong with this command?
youtube-dl -o MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail.flv "

It keeps telling me:

[youtube] eOfI88NKRzY: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] eOfI88NKRzY: Extracting video information

I've never had problems downloading videos before. I've tried getting rid of the '-o ...', getting rid of the quotes, getting rid of the space after the '-o', but nothing works. What's wrong?

Works for me!
