A major update to my post yesterday: instead of using the version of `` youtube-dl, which is located in the Debian repository, I highly recommend downloading the latest version found at this address:

This version fixes some problems with it new formats chosen by YouTube to identify the video. To use the new version simply download it on your workstation (this is a simple text file) and launch it as the following example:

# python youtube-dl http://youtube.com/watch?v=wruhbPe-FOA

Here is a practical example of what can be achieved by interacting `youtube-dl` and `` ffmpeg:

Click here for the AVI and unbranded YouTube Video "Tony Brindisi"

This is the same video I posted a few days ago, but this time the file was downloaded locally and converted to AVI. Important that the downloaded version no longer appears on the YouTube logo.
