If you had read what I posted in my original answer, you would no
longer have this problem.  You are running an obsolete version of
youtube-dl - get the current one.  Here's what it does:

$ youtube-dl.sh "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erJcpr4H77M"
[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] erJcpr4H77M: Downloading video webpage
[youtube] erJcpr4H77M: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] erJcpr4H77M: Extracting video information
[download] Destination: erJcpr4H77M.mp4
[download] 100.0% of 73.20M at  461.93k/s ETA 00:00

Where do you get it?  Search for "youtube-dl.sh" in Google (or your
favorite second-rate search engine  :-).
