Running youtube_dl like so:
python -m youtube_dl --skip-download --write-info-json -v http://www.ktvu.com/videos/news/raw-video-caltrain-releases-video-of-man-almost/vCTZdY/
yields the following .json file:

But running with mp4 specified as the format like so:
python -m youtube_dl --skip-download --write-info-json -format mp4 -v http://www.ktvu.com/videos/news/raw-video-caltrain-releases-video-of-man-almost/vCTZdY/
yields this error:
