Hello,

This is a common bug with quite a few videos on youtube. Check this link out - https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/108
Get the source using git, and apply the patch, and you should be good. If you have any questions, ask away :p

Cheers,

Josh

You have a typo in there.... Also, last time I checked, the patch wasn't in the latest version yet, unless I overlooked it.
