http://www.c-span.org/video/?403595 and http://www.c-span.org/video/?4533454... (not sure which one you wanted) are both 404 pages, so this is a correct error message. Which video did you want to download? I am closing this issue for now, since I believe youtube-dl's behavior to be correct - it emits a 404 error for a page that is a 404, what else could it do?
