Yes, tried that, to no avail.  The file command lists the file as 
Macromedia Flash Video.
flashplayer 9 (2008.1) can do nothing with it.  Maybe version 10 is 
needed - not available from Mandriva.  You are using 2009.1 so maybe 
that is why these things work for you.  My laptops have 2009.1 x86_64.  
Will try one of them when there is time.

vlc returns repeated errors:

[flv @ 0x2aaabe2b12a0]Unsupported video codec (7)
[00000368] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `undf'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

vlc has no trouble with other flv files such as the video from the 
Kaguya lunar orbiter.
