I tried the following command in the ubuntu for downloading the youtube videos:
youtube-dl "URL"
or if we want to specify the file extension :
youtube-dl -o filename.flv "URL"
This being the most recommended command, doesn't work. It says format is not supported.
Moreover I again tried the command :
wget -c "URL"
But this command also doesn't work . Can anyone help me with this problem???

You can take any URL of the youtube channel. Suppose for example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QqT38QRA840 -
Moreover my adobe flash player is not working because ...
I think its because i tried the command in the terminal :
sudo apt-get update
this tries to get new updates for my ubuntu 10.10 but even though i'm trying a lot to install the new adobe flash player 10 but it's not working. Can you suggest any command that I can type in the terminal to get the adobe flash player 10 through the terminal. Because the terminal is more effective than the "synaptic package manager" or " ubuntu software center" applications... i think so...0 -
I tried to download the save video and received the same message, however when I upgraded to the latest version of youtube-dl the file format issue was corrected. Can you please run "youtube-dl -v" to get the version number and share that with us so we can determine if that is the cause?0

I sorry i bothered you so much ... At the time i posted this question the youtube in our network was working but now it's not. When it was working i tried and came to see the error. But I'm really sorry i cannot check it out now. Because the youtube is blocked again in our network. So I cannot say you whether the command youtube-dl -v is really working or not. If youtube again works in our network then I assure you to inform you at once.
And well... thank you for your reply0 -

sudo apt-get install youtube-dl
You can then use youtube-dl to download the clip associated with a given youtube URL, e.g.:youtube-dl "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9xAKttWgP4"
The output file is a flash video, and should be playable with e.g. mplayer and vlc, or you can convert it to other formats using ffmpeg or mencoder.0
