+.SH FAQ
+.SS Can you please put the -b option back?
+.PP
+Most people asking this question are not aware that youtube-dl now
+defaults to downloading the highest available quality as reported by
+YouTube, which will be 1080p or 720p in some cases, so you no longer
+need the -b option.
+For some specific videos, maybe YouTube does not report them to be
+available in a specific high quality format you\[aq]\[aq]re interested
+in.
+In that case, simply request it with the -f option and youtube-dl will
+try to download it.
+.SS I get HTTP error 402 when trying to download a video. What\[aq]s
+this?
+.PP
+Apparently YouTube requires you to pass a CAPTCHA test if you download
+too much.
+We\[aq]\[aq]re considering to provide a way to let you solve the
+CAPTCHA (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/154), but at the
+moment, your best course of action is pointing a webbrowser to the
+youtube URL, solving the CAPTCHA, and restart youtube-dl.
+.SS I have downloaded a video but how can I play it?
+.PP
+Once the video is fully downloaded, use any video player, such as
+vlc (http://www.videolan.org) or mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/).
+.SS The links provided by youtube-dl -g are not working anymore
+.PP
+The URLs youtube-dl outputs require the downloader to have the correct
+cookies.
+Use the \f[C]--cookies\f[] option to write the required cookies into a
+file, and advise your downloader to read cookies from that file.
+Some sites also require a common user agent to be used, use
+\f[C]--dump-user-agent\f[] to see the one in use by youtube-dl.
+.SS ERROR: no fmt_url_map or conn information found in video info
