+    Information extractors are the classes that, given a URL, extract

+    information includes the real video URL, the video title, author and
+    others. The information is stored in a dictionary which is then
+    passed to the FileDownloader. The FileDownloader processes this
+    information possibly downloading the video to the file system, among
+    other possible outcomes.
+
+    The dictionaries must include the following fields:
+
+    id:             Video identifier.
+    url:            Final video URL.
+    title:          Video title, unescaped.
+    ext:            Video filename extension.
+    uploader:       Full name of the video uploader.
+    upload_date:    Video upload date (YYYYMMDD).
+
+    The following fields are optional:
+
+    format:         The video format, defaults to ext (used for --get-format)
+    thumbnail:      Full URL to a video thumbnail image.
+    description:    One-line video description.
+    uploader_id:    Nickname or id of the video uploader.
+    player_url:     SWF Player URL (used for rtmpdump).
+    subtitles:      The .srt file contents.
+    urlhandle:      [internal] The urlHandle to be used to download the file,
+                    like returned by urllib.request.urlopen
+
+    The fields should all be Unicode strings.

+    Information extractors are the classes that, given a URL, extract

+    information includes the real video URL, the video title, author and
+    others. The information is stored in a dictionary which is then
+    passed to the FileDownloader. The FileDownloader processes this
+    information possibly downloading the video to the file system, among
+    other possible outcomes.
+
+    The dictionaries must include the following fields:
+
+    id:             Video identifier.
+    url:            Final video URL.
+    title:          Video title, unescaped.
+    ext:            Video filename extension.
+    uploader:       Full name of the video uploader.
+    upload_date:    Video upload date (YYYYMMDD).
+
+    The following fields are optional:
+
+    format:         The video format, defaults to ext (used for --get-format)
+    thumbnail:      Full URL to a video thumbnail image.
+    description:    One-line video description.
+    uploader_id:    Nickname or id of the video uploader.
+    player_url:     SWF Player URL (used for rtmpdump).
+    subtitles:      The .srt file contents.
+    urlhandle:      [internal] The urlHandle to be used to download the file,
+                    like returned by urllib.request.urlopen
+
+    The fields should all be Unicode strings.
