The terminal opens but after 2 or 3 lines closes (it doesn't do all shown in rxvt.jpg, image of first page of this post). It creates .mp4 files of 88 B that don't work. The videos I've tried don't start with dash, so I shouldn't need the last version, 1.3-2. Or do I? Does 1.3-2 have more improvements apart from the dash issue? Thanks

It's simpler and faster to use this method.

I called my save folder vids and my files are all one word names and I think that must be why they are downloading alright.
They play in gxine without error.
I tried some two word names with a space in and they wouldn't download at all.

chrissy,

You are right. I tried your way and it worked.

Many thanks for the solution.
