getVideo
--------
This ARexx script can be used to grab some information from popular video
portals like YouTube so you can download the FLV (Flash Video) files and
play it using mplayer.
It is based on the youtube_downloader ARexx script from Fabien Coeurjoly.
Many thanks to FAB for this pattern because my ARexx skills are limited
and without his help I wouldn't had a chance to write this script.
