Package: clive
Version: 2.2.27-1
Severity: wishlist

Perhaps this chart
# clive --hosts
Youtube
  default|flv_240p|flv_360p|flv_480p|mp4_360p|mp4_720p|mp4_1080p|mp4_3072p
should also say what filenames they will be stored in.
One would think it would be obvious, except that
$ clive -f best http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kum6iKHky4w
gets a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.webm file.
So maybe the chart and man page are not ready for WebM, especially as
the Wikipedia article says it's the new trend at YouTube.

How I discovered it:
$ set http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kum6iKHky4w
$ firefox $@ #with standard Adobe Flashplayer #Beautiful stereo
$ clive $@
$ set WhiteBoyMikeSomethingToDanceToClubMix1989Jive.flv
$ mplayer $@ # or vlc $@ #Miserable mono. E.g., 0:30 to 1:00.
So then I tried -f best.

But wait... shouldn't there be a
--at-least-stereo
as I would be happy with 240p versions of things, at least if they were stereo.
