I hadn't been aware that I was excluding user's home projects. Now that
rtmpdump is installed, I still don't know what to do to get an rtmp URL and
fetch the video. The page the video is on is not specific to the video
chosen. From http://www.fox.com/watch/lietome what I want is the video that's
labeled "Headlock, Season 2: episode 18" with URL
http://www.fox.com/watch/lietome/348121597001. When I look in Firefox's page
info nothing I find seems pointed in the right direction. In DOM inspector
something that seems to point in the right direction is in the page's
ID=myExperience class=BrightcoveExperience
"http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?&amp;width=640&amp;height=324&amp;flashID=myExperience&amp;bgcolor=%231e1e1e&amp;playerID=58404213001&amp;publisherID=51296410001&amp;isVid=true&amp;autoStart=true&amp;%40videoPlayer=593306508001&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;adServerURL=&amp;showCode=lietome&amp;omnitureAccountID=foxcomprod&amp;dynamicStreaming=false&amp;optimizedContentLoad=
true&amp;convivaEnabled=true&amp;convivaID=c3.FOX"

When I try any URL above or component thereof on the rtmpdump cmdline with -s
or -p, even changing the http to rtmp, all I get is usage messages.

rtmpdump -h won't redirect to a file so I can read it all, it has no
examples, and there's no man page.

http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/ seems like a better direction to
take, but has no RPM I can find. From
http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/wiki/Installation I but cannot  be
sure if "Install the Perl modules WWW::Mechanize (required)" is fulfilled by
perl-libwww-perl (installed 5.8.30-2.2), or similar for XML::Simple by
perl-XML-Simple (installed 2.18-65.2), or if any of the optionals are
required (Data::AMF, Compress::Zlib, Crypt::Rijndael). When I try
'get_flash_videos http://www.fox.com/watch/lietome/348121597001' I get:
