I used to use a tool called youtube-dl to download youtube video. 
Not lately.  I tried it on this: 
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyviyF-N23A
(The Hallelujah Chorus "performed" by an Alaskan Inuit village).  

youtube-dl throws format errors.  Same with this related video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXh7JR9oKVE&feature=fvwk
(Hallelujah Chorus sung by a food court flash mob). 

So I am assuming the download tool is broken. 

The kludgy workaround is to play the video in a browser, and do:

  ffmpeg -i /tmp/Flash* outputfile.mpg

(where Flash* is the video you just played in /tmp)

But it would be nice to have a command line tool that does it all.
What do the Kool Kidz use these days?
