You've done something on your machine that broke rtmpdump.  The most 
likely cause is that you messed up the PATH environment variable.  Open 
up the get_iplayer console and run:

echo %PATH%

The default value of PATH should look like:

C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\

There may be additional entries as well from other installed software. 
If PATH doesn't contain C:\Windows\system32, rtmpdump (and likely other 
applications) will not work.  If that is the case, fix PATH via Control 
Panel.  If you don't know how, Google is your friend.

If PATH is OK, put your verbose log on Pastebin or similar and post the 
link here.  You can use --modes=flashlow --attempts=1 to cut down the 
number of download retries.
