LOOKING FOR TRANSLATORS. Please see README.

Introduction
============

This is a script for Kommander. It downloads a video from a video website
(YouTube, Google Video, ...) and, if is a flash format video, offers
the option to convert it to manifold formats (MPEG-4, DivX, XviD, MPEG-1,
MPEG-2, H.264, Quicktime, iPod and PSP) using FFmpeg as back-end.
