Once you've saved the batch file, open a command prompt window and manually navigate to the folder ffmpeg.exe and the batch file are in and type in the name of the batch file.

I just tried it with the video you mentioned, and it's downloading right now. It's not a fast download, but it's up to 137MB after just about 5 minutes. It's giving me a H264 AVC MPEG-4 file at 1920x1080 and 50 fps that looks amazing.

Good luck!
can you explain step by step (for dummies ) , what is ffmpeg? how to download? i'm sorry but i'm not a pc genius
