Did you try to use Quotation Marks?
"progressive-Q8C-sehr hoch"

I can't test it now :/

At least post the url you are trying to download.

Here are the spaces...
now with quotation marks:

now i'm using a format without spaces and '()' using quotation marks:

youtube-dl -f "progressive-Q6A-hoch" http://tvthek.orf.at/program/Overtime-Das-Eishockey-Magazin/8444017/Overtime-Das-Eishockey-Magazin-Folge-22/11930042

this is working - so is there a problem with spaces and brackets?
