Since youtube.com changes their format too often for stable releases it is really problematic for some tools like youtube-dl to be packaged in Stable. I think it would do much better if it were released in squeeze-updates (the new volatile). But it isn't. I wish it were. Because of this I always use the youtube-dl from Sid. It is a script. It only depends upon ffmpeg being installed. It runs just fine on Stable for me so far. YMMV. But I use the Sid script on all of my Squeeze machines. I update it as needed when youtube.com changes and breaks the downloader. Bob
