ffmpeg seems to decode flash video!

Someone wrote a small python program to download youtube videos:

http://www.arrakis.es/~rggi3/youtube-dl/

Just ./youtube-dl http://.... (url of youtube page) and then mplayer
foo.flv

That's how I was able to watch Weird Al Yankovich & Bill Plimpton's
"Don't Download This Song" videoclip :)
