Option to download automatic captions

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. gcap "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq1LUZwWPXg"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It would be good to have an option to download the automatic caption instead 
getting an "error: no input: no captions found"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.1.1

Please provide any additional information below.

Some videos have an automatic caption available (while not 100% accurate, they 
are useful for non-native English speakers).

> "error: no input: no captions found"

In this case means that:
  http://video.google.com/timedtext

Service does not return anything for the video ID. This is
the address gcap uses to get those CCs. Patches welcome.
