+# VIDEO SELECTION

+Videos can be filtered by their upload date using the options `--date`, `--datebefore` or `--dateafter`, they accept dates in two formats:
+
+ - Absolute dates: Dates in the format `YYYYMMDD`.
+ - Relative dates: Dates in the format `(now|today)[+-][0-9](day|week|month|year)(s)?`
+ 
+Examples:
+
+       $ youtube-dl --dateafter now-6months #will only download the videos uploaded in the last 6 months
+       $ youtube-dl --date 19700101 #will only download the videos uploaded in January 1, 1970
+       $ youtube-dl --dateafter 20000101 --datebefore 20100101 #will only download the videos uploaded between 2000 and 2010
