eschwartz [1] filed a deletion request for youtube-dl-mp4-git [2]: self-published script that does not meet the guidelines for "useful to more than one person". It's a one-line script that invokes youtube-dl as: youtube-dl --format "bestvideo[ext=mp4,vcodec*=avc1]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]" -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" $1 And then the PKGBUILD installs it to /usr/local using sudo.
