This video/stream REFUSES to download.

[OurDoug]

I've tried everything within my means and I just can't download this video. I'm hopeful someone on here with more knowledge knows of a ''tool'' to get the job done.

Any help would be much appreciated.

The video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=VLFg7-9iRWU

ffmpeg my friend really easy just press Ctrl+Shift+K in your browser and search this in the Filter to get the .m3u8

http://www.youtube.com/api/manifest/hls_playlist/id/

Then just simply

ffmpeg -i ".m3u8 url here" -c copy seg.ts

Thanks for the reply pal!

I've tried to follow your instructions but I'm only getting so far. I've never done anything like this before so you will need to explain in ''dummy'' terms.

Where do I press Ctrl/Shift/K? In the URL of the video?

http://www.youtube.com/api/manifest/hls_playlist/id/

Do I paste that link into filter?

Here's a screen shot of where I'm at:

Thanks for that I'm getting closer.

I'm trying to install ffmpeg and I'm following these instructions:

Here's a print screen of where I'm at:

As you can see, I don't have Path under user variables as shown in the guide. What should I do?

I don't want to take any unnecessary risks in case I do something catastrophic as I don't really have a clue what I'm doing.

If there is no variable PATH, just add it. Set the variable name to PATH and the value to the path of the ffmpeg directory (plus \bin as described in the tutorial that you mentioned, but without any semicolon) and click ok.
If you got the ffmpeg binaries from the official page and set the right path, nothing bad can happen. After you did that (you don't have to reboot), you can use ffmpeg from the command prompt.

Last word if you aren't familiar with cmd:
Please take care that the video will be saved into the current work directory, so you'll find it at your users folder (unless you specified something different).
