Request support for VP8 (WebM) from YouTube #212

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run get_flash_videos against a YouTube video URL with hi-def video.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
If hi-def is there, the patent-encumbered H.264 format is chosen, no apparent 
provisions to choose VP8 (WebM).  Would like to have an option to choose WebM, 
kinda like you can with youtube-dl.  Even better would be to have WebM the 
default!  :-)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 1.24 on various GNU/Linux distros (Ubuntu, CentOS, Slackware).

Please provide any additional information below.
First, thank you for this program.  The functionality is great.
