In your command line, you have just one video, so there is no second one. If this video comes out of a playlist of any kind (I believe for you it's from a search, use ytsearch10: or ytsearchall: instead of a plain ytsearch:), you can pass in --max-downloads 1. This will make youtube-dl abort after the first successful download.

Oh, sorry. I mean

youtube-dl 'ytsearch1:Afgin - Astral Experience' -f webm/ogg
Says: "ERROR: requested format not available"

Why do youtube-dl not trying with next video ID?

Add the --ignore-errors option, it won't stop when it finds an error.

Like virtually any other command-line program, youtube-dl aborts if it encounters an error. This is the default behavior, but we reserve every right to alter it some time. If you want a specific behavior (in your case, ignore the error and go on with the next video), pass in the --ignore-errors (or -i for short) or --abort-on-error option. This works fine for me:

youtube-dl 'ytsearch10:Afgin - Astral Experience' -f webm/ogg -i --max-downloads 1

At the moment, it generates somewhat excessive output, but as of the just-released youtube-dl 2014.01.23.1, this has been fixed.

youtube-dl 'ytsearch10:Afgin - Old is Gold' -f webm/ogg -i --max-downloads 1 --match-title ^"Afgin - Old is Gold"$ --verbose

ID 65MQ5ZAmusI correspond to --match-title but have error. Why?

Can you post the error you are getting? Please make sure that you include the full output of youtube-dl. To get more effective at error reporting, please make sure you follow our bug reporting checklist.

The invocatoin works fine for me. Your shell quoting is a little bit funky though. I think you want '^Afgin - Old is Gold$'.
