Please update first (youtube-dl -U), as today a change in YouTube broke youtube-dl and you need our latest version to successfully download.

Let us know if this solves the issue.

Works fine on my systems, and looks precisely like the bug. Unless youtube-dl --version outputs 2012.09.27 (or newer), updating will help. I'm closing this issue, but feel free to comment if the error does in fact occur with the newest youtube-dl version.
