I am not willing to apply a patch to the script itself, but I will *gladly*
accept patches to the manpage, with more detailed descriptions of the
meaning of what the video formats may mean.
There are some reasons for that:
* The source code is more volatile than the documentation.
* The meaning of the video formats vary from site to site.
For instance, I usually grab videos from video.google.com and the meaning
of the format there is not the same as for youtube. I am also implementing
upstream the ability to grab videos from vimeo.com and it seems that, there,
we only have SD and HD videos.
* The manpage can hold a detailed description of the details above, while
having them in the source code is not the right place.
So, if you send me a patch to the manpage, I am willing to upload a new
revision of the package.
Regards,
