This mail doesn't make much sense. youtube-dl and get-flash-vidoes are doing basically the same thing, scraping the video website so they can download videos. (the "flash" in get-flash-videos is as much a misnomer as the "youtube" in youtube-dl, they both work for multiple sites, many of which don't actually need Flash any more). One tends to stay working through youtube changes, the other doesn't.
