you may need to use --prefer-ffmpeg too since default avconv will not mux so :::::

youtube-dl --youtube-include-dash-manifest --prefer-ffmpeg -f 137+141 "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPK67Px8sR8"

or

youtube-dl --youtube-include-dash-manifest --prefer-ffmpeg -f 137+141 qPK67Px8sR8

gives you:

youtube-dl --youtube-include-dash-manifest --prefer-ffmpeg -f 137+141 "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPK67Px8sR8"
