Description of problem:

This software version is OLD, it's outdated. Update it to the last release.

Download the source from here:
http://bitbucket.org/rg3/youtube-dl/downloads/
Rebuild the RPM and push it into YUM!!!

In the newest versions you've a lot of useful options... like these:
--------
  Authentication Options:
    -u UN, --username=UN
                        account username
    -p PW, --password=PW
                        account password
    -n, --netrc         use .netrc authentication data

  Video Format Options:
    -f FMT, --format=FMT
                        video format code
    -b, --best-quality  download the best quality video possible
    -m, --mobile-version
                        alias for -f 17
    -d, --high-def      alias for -f 22
--------
and others...

THANK YOU!!
