If the URL is correct, it works in MacYTDL (which uses fairly vanilla youtube-dl calls). The URLs look like this:

iview.abc.net.au/show/mystery-road/series/1/video/DR1631W001S00

But, note that this formulation also works with youtube-dl: https://iview.abc.net.au/video/ZW1506A001S00 ... but, neither work in a web browser.

Perhaps there is an issue with URLDown Dropper – but, development has ceased. There are many alternative Windows apps which use youtube-dl. There are also some cross-platform efforts which are functional and free (eg. youtube-dl-gui).

Cheers.
