I opened a feature request at the project:

http://bitbucket.org/rg3/youtube-dl/...ips-as-mp4-not

Quote:
Youtube stores all Videos as MP4 and FLV. I would like to have an option to specify "download as MP4"
Background: there are a lot media players appliances in the market which are not able to play FLV, but MP4 (for example the popular WD TV Live HD)
thanks for feedback

NAME
flvtool2 - a manipulation tool for flash video files SYNOPSIS
flvtool2 [-ACDPUVaciklnoprstvx]...[-key:value]...in-path|stdin[out-path|stdout] DESCRIPTION
If out-path is omitted, in-path will be overwritten. In-path can be a single file, or a directory. If in-path is a directory, out-path has to be likewise, or can be omitted. Directory recursion is controlled by the -r switch. You can use stdin and stdout keywords as in- and out-path for piping or redirecting. Chain commands like that: -UP (updates FLV file than prints out meta data) COMMANDS
-A Adds tags from -t tags-file -C Cuts file using -i inpoint and -o outpoint -D Debugs file (writes a lot to stdout) -H Helpscreen will be shown -P Prints out meta data to stdout -U Updates FLV with an onMetaTag event SWITCHES
-a Collapse space between cut regions -c Compatibility mode calculates some onMetaTag values differently -key:value Key-value-pair for onMetaData tag (overwrites generated values) -i timestamp Inpoint for cut command in miliseconds -k Keyframe mode slides onCuePoint(navigation) tags added by the add command to nearest keyframe position -l Logs FLV stream reading to stream.log in current directory -n Number of tag to debug -o timestamp Outpoint for cut command in miliseconds -p Preserve mode only updates FLVs that have not been processed before -r Recursion for directory processing -s Simulation mode never writes FLV data to out-path -t path Tagfile (MetaTags written in XML) -v Verbose mode -x XML mode instead of YAML mode SEE ALSO
