This script downloads video and audio from a nrk.no url.

Usage:  nrk-recorder  commands_and_options  [duration]  url  [output_filename]
        nrk-recorder  commands_and_options  batchfile  [output_tag]
        nrk-recorder  commands_and_options
        nrk-recorder  url

URL
    For NRK TV this should be a tv.nrk.no URL for a single program or episode.
    Usually starting with http://tv.nrk.no/program/ or
    http://tv.nrk.no/serie/.

    For NRK Radio this should be a radio.nrk.no URL for a single program.
    Usually starting with http://radio.nrk.no/serie/.

    For NRK Skole this should be a klippdetalj URL: 
    http://www.nrk.no/skole/klippdetalj ...

Files
    Filnames are generated from the video title and can be overridden by
    providing an output_filename. In batch mode an output_tag can be prepended
    to the filenames.

    Videos are always downloaded from NRK as an flv file (even if you have
    asked for mp4 or mkv). The flv file is deleted after being packaged to
    mp4 or mkv unless you have explicitly asked to keep it (by providing an f
    option).

    Subtitles are downloaded as an srt file. Chapters are downloaded as simple 
    chapter files and will get a .chp file extension.

    If you are making an mp4 or mkv file with subtitles the srt file is stored
    to disk during the process and deleted afterwards unless you have asked to
    keep it (by providing an s option). The same goes for chapters.

    In interactive mode (default) you will be prompted before any files are 
    overwritten. You can also opt to have a counter appended to the filename
    if the file already exists.

    At most the program will generate eight files:

      flv   flash video (f)         srt   subtitles (s)
      mp4   mpeg4 video (m)         chp   chapters (c)
      mkv   matroska video (k)      txt   metadata (I)
                                    html  program review (x)
                                    jpg   thumbnail (x)

    A number of temporary files will be created during the download. These 
    will be stored in a local 'tmp' or 'temp' subdirectory if one of these
    exists.

Batch mode
    Batch mode allows you to download multiple videos in one command.

    The batch file is a simple text file with a list of URLs (one on each
    line). Blank lines are allowed as is comments starting with a hash sign
    (#).

Live streams
    When recording live streams you should always use the 'l' option. It's
    also a good idea to specify a duration (in minutes or minutes:seconds).


Commands
    m     download video, subtitles and chapters as mp4 (mpeg4)
    k     download video, subtitles and chapters as mkv (matroska)

    M     download video only as mp4 (mpeg4)
    K     download video only as mkv (matroska)

    f     download video as flv (flash video)

    s     download subtitles as srt file
    c     download chapters to file (.chp)

    i     display metadata
    I     save metadata to file (.txt)

    t     test (harmless)
    Y     clean-up (remove old temporary files)

Options
    1     quality high (default)
    2     quality medium
    3     quality low

    l     live recording (use this if the source is a live stream)

    x     get all supporting files and put it all in a sub directory
          (requires m, k or f)

    n     interactive (will ask before overwriting files; default)
    a     append a counter to filename if it already exists
    y     force overwrite

    q     quiet (less verbose, qq is more quiet, qqq is silent)
    v     verbose
    d     debug
