# Hacky script for downloading videos from PyVideo and converting them to m4v
# format so they can be synced onto your apple device. Useful if you
# want to see everything that happened at PyCon while commuting.
#
# Requirements:
# * pip install requests BeautifulSoup
# * youtube-dl (from https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/) - add this to the
# directory where this script runs and ensure its execute bit is set.
# This was the only YouTube downloader I found that worked. It doesn't
# really have a good Python API so I call it through os.system.
