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=IMKBKA SMFPGG&hdcore=3.5.0" -c copy video.mp4 ) and pressed enter. Then it says Unable to find a suitable output format.

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.
