Thank you for that information. I was indeed able
to get the URL using a text editor, and wget was
able to download the file. However, when I used
mplayer to play the file, I got this:
---------------------------------------------------
[flv @ 0x86647b4] Unsupported video codec (7)
LAVF_header: av_find_stream_info() failed
TiVo file format detected.
MPEG: No audio stream found -> no sound.
MPEG: FATAL: EOF while searching for sequence header
----------------------------------------------------
The file was itag=34 (flv 480 x 360), so mplayer
should handle it. Shouldn't it?

I'm sure I've run flv videos on mplayer before, but
perhaps that was my old version of mplayer? So, I
tried again using the old mplayer (1.0pre5-3.2.3)
This time I got:
---------------------------------------------------
Cache fill: 0.00% (0 bytes)
TiVo file format detected.
MPEG: No audio stream found -> no sound.
MPEG: FATAL: EOF while searching for sequence header
Video: Cannot read properties.
----------------------------------------------------
Again the message about TiVo file format. Are utube
videos in TiVo file format? Can mplayer not do TiVo?

Cheers,
Steven
