It works for me. Can you watch the video on a browser? if so, could you run youtube-dl 'http://www.francetvinfo.fr/replay-jt/france-2/20-heures/jt-de-20h-du-dimanche-30-novembre-2014_752591.html' --write-pages and post the *.dump files somewher (like a Gist?

[gilles-c]

It could be a problem with the version of avconv, it works fine for me with avconv 11 and ffmpeg 2.4.3. You could try upgrading to a more recent version.

[gilles-c]

I think you are right..
My version of ffmpeg is deprecated, more than that, for debian ffmpeg is deprecated and just a transitional package.
https://packages.debian.org/ru/wheezy/ffmpeg

1] Maybe I must build the last version of static librairy of ffmpeg and after must change the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and after run youtube-dl

2] Maybe I must install the version of libav-tools included in debian 8 ( jessie )

3] Maybe I must wait the next version of Debian

[clampak]

@gilles-c if this isn't fixed for you, try the suggestions in #4471
