Dragged ffmpeg into C prompt. Hit space bar and Pasted in the f4m manifest typed -i ( "http://amc350888def-vh.akamaihd.net/z/AMC_Networks_-_AMC/623451203738/650/411/BCS_201_D1_623452739,604_mp4_video_1280x720_243200 0_primary_audio_6,606_mp4_video_1920x1080_8000000_ primary_audio_8,605_mp4_video_1920x1080_5000000_pr imary_audio_7,603_mp4_video_1280x720_1800000_prima ry_audio_5,602_mp4_video_960x540_1200000_primary_a udio_4,601_mp4_video_640x360_568000_primary_audio_ 3,600_mp4_video_480x270_400000_primary_audio_2,599 _mp4_video_416x234_168000_primary_audio_1,.mp4.csm il/manifest.f4m?hdnea=st=1456086613~exp=1456086703~ac l=/z/AMC_Networks_-_AMC/623451203738/650/411/BCS_201_D1_623452739*~hmac=64e546301b0decd39bdaf13 445355b6cfdeb12df26828312fca3f75955a878d0&g=IMKBKASMFPGG&hdcore=3.5.0" -c copy video.mp4 ) and pressed enter. Then it says Unable to find a suitable output format.
What am I doing wrong?

Or if someone could steer me a to walkthrough or tutorial for downloading videos using ffmpeg.

Thanks

Can you provide a direct link to the video on AMC's site?

FFmpeg has built-in Apple HLS support (files that end with .m3u8) but does not handle Adobe HDS streams. This particular video looks like an HDS stream. You can tell by filetype of the master or manifest playlist. When you see master.m3u8, FFmpeg is your tool of choice. When you see manifest.f4m (as is the case here), you should use AdobeHDS.php. You can read more here: https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts/wiki

Basically you need to install php, download AdobeHDS.php, navigate to that folder in a command prompt and type "php AdobeHDS.php "Your Link Here"" and it should download without issue.

If you're using firefox, you can search for the extension HDS Link detector. The extension will create the correct command for you, which you just need to paste into the command prompt.

Alright Ive done everything you said and this is whats happen http://oi64.tinypic.com/122kcap.jpg

[shawn1122]

Did you follow the instructions on https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts/wiki for installing PHP? He specifically requests that you install version 5.4 though the latest version is 7. Also make sure to include PHP.ini in the install folder. It also looks like you need to navigate to the folder where you've saved AdobeHDS.php. I recommend storing it in it's own folder since all of the fragments and the final video file will be saved there. You can download AdobeHDS from here: https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts. Just download the ZIP and extract AdobeHDS.php to the folder of your choosing.

One you get PHP installed properly and the script running, that link will fail you (if its the one I posted) since the authentication on it has already expired. You will need to get your own link either by using "Inspect" like you did earlier or by using the HDS Link Detector extension for Firefox.

If PHP isn't installing properly, you can use a standalone version of AdobeHDS, though unfortunately this is also run by command line. It can be downloaded here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2E25BLPjcHhTFd0LWlwRl9nN1k/view. With this file you won't need to install PHP, simply extract the .exe in the x86 folder to any folder of your choosing. Navigate to that folder in the command prompt and enter your command. Instead of the command starting with "php Adobehds.php", it will now simply begin with "adobehds" for example:

Though again, you would need to get your own URL and I recommend using HDS Link Detector to do so.

[MaxBlum]

First off I want to thank you again for going out of your way to help me withthis . You didn't have to do this, and really appreciate it.

I re-did AdobeHDS.php and couldnt get it to work, but I got the standalone version of AdobeHDS to work on fxnetwork and ifc. No luck with AMC, It says access denied. I tried the HDS Link detector code but it didnt work. I also found this:
