How do I download this video so that I can play it using something other than Flash?
...and imho even should - this reminds of the not-so-good old times, when there were lots of web sites only accessible with MS Internet Explorer version x.y
(At least downloading with rtmpdump did work though)
To answer my own question: I looked at the source of the page and saw that an xml playlist gets loaded with the flash player. I then downloaded the playlist file and pieced together the various bits of information in the file regarding the rtmp stream of the video.
on the command line, I ran:
rtmpdump -r rtmp://s182odhe7ugups.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/the-kernel-development-panel_35482d/full_hd.mp4 -o kerneldev.mp4
booyah
timed out and didn't work the low quality worked though: "rtmpdump -r rtmp://s182odhe7ugups.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/the-kernel-development-panel_35482d/low.mp4 -o kerneldev.mp4"
You shouldn't need flash. I get it in html5 video - webm and h265
(are you using FF3 perchance?)
We aren't hosting these videos ourselves yet, so we can't give download links. But they will be coming at some point soon.
What a horrible web page.
1) Every few seconds the sound vanishes while the video plays. Some seconds later I get the sound back but the video stucks. Other pages like youtube work without any problem.
2) As I can see in the XML file (http://linuxfoundation.ubicast.tv/videos/playlist/113.xml) there are two versions of this video (low and HD). Why can't I select which I want to view?
Please use only technology you are able to master!

FT Said:
firefox addons can do the trick: DownloadHelper or Embedded Objects
jezra Said:
or the website developer can include a "download" link

Unfortunately the sound problems are due to the recording itself, not this website. Low def is used for mobile devices only.
