youtube-dl

Well, I'm attempting to download a you tube video so I type:

$ youtube-dl -o Darktable-1-Getting-Started "
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwoHkXqHTCc"
[youtube] IwoHkXqHTCc: Downloading webpage
[youtube] IwoHkXqHTCc: Downloading video info webpage

Deleting original file Darktable-1-Getting-Started.f271 (pass -k to keep)
Deleting original file Darktable-1-Getting-Started.f251 (pass -k to keep)

but when I try to view the video this error appears:

No suitable decoder module:

VLC does not support the audio or video format "VP90". Unfortunately there
is no way for you to fix this.

No suitable decoder module:

VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there
is no way for you to fix this.


so I looked at the man page and found --recode-video so I figured I'd try
that.


$ youtube-dl -o Darktable-1-Getting-Started "
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwoHkXqHTCc" --recode-video mp4

[download] Darktable-1-Getting-Started.webm has already been downloaded and
merged
[ffmpeg] Converting video from webm to mp4, Destination:
Darktable-1-Getting-Started.mp4
ERROR: [aac @ 0x1465460] The encoder 'aac' is experimental but experimental
codecs are not enabled, add '-strict -2' if you want to use it.

When I look in the file's folder I see two files have been created, an mp4
file and a webm file. When I open the mp4 (the icon of which shows a clock
on a checker field) file nothing happens. When I try to open the webm file
(the icon of which is a video frame) the previously mentioned error appears
and the the progress bar starts counting up.

So I think that too get help I better open the files from the terminal to
get a proper error:
