I gave up on youtube-dl some time ago. I use this with complete 
satisfaction every time, (unless the video is blocked!) in my Firefox 
browser:

Give that a whirl. Again, some videos are blocked from being dnloaded 
and you would have to figure out where it is being cached on your 
machine in order to grab it, or just pieces of it. Been there, done 
that. The above just works WHEN IT CAN. Some sites are jerks about what 
they will "ALLOW" you to grab. You can vote with your feet and avoid them.

Funny thing, several sites like PBS and TED used to be like that. I 
fired off some emails about the poor and disadvantaged (who they profess 
a belief of being all about, and they revised their polices. TED has 
download links now, to help folks out, You just have to let them know 
you're irritated.  Ric
