Download Videos from YouTube and other from the CL

Today I needed to download a Video from YouTube just with a CommandLine.
So I searched the Debian Repo's for a tool's able to do that. ($ sudo apt-cache search youtube). The tool which catched my attention is called "clive". --> $ sudo apt-get install clive
It's very simple to use: $ clive http://youtube.com/VIDEOURL
It will download the high-res video by default. (Very nice!)
There are some other functionalities, like scanning a page for videos ($ clive -s http://page.com). I refer you to the man page ($ man clive).
