Two options for you to try.

1. view the video online. a download link is shown next to "share", "settings", "fullscreen".at the bottom.
   or
2. view page source. search for MP4 for the video links.
   Your example site:- https://www.abc.net.au/btn/classroom/wwi-centenary/10527914
   .......
   "url": "https://abcmedia.akamaized.net/btn/Classroom/20140805_ww1centenary_576.mp4",
   "contentType": "video/mp4",
   "label": 1280
   },
   {
   "url": "https://abcmedia.akamaized.net/btn/Classroom/20140805_ww1centenary_288.mp4",
   "contentType": "video/mp4",
   "label": 470

Welp, didn't notice that the download is already there lol.

The second option did work on youtube-dl using the generic extractor, so I guess the only left to do is make it able to detect the site URL.

Just in case, here's a verbose log
