Interesting, I wish I could understand the words. :-)

I was able to record this with no problem using Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) . I also tried with WM Recorder (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/WMRecorder-One-click-online-audio-video-stream-recorder.htm) but was NOT succesful.

Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) would be you best bet for this site!

Finally, I've got it!!

1. First catch the right url with ngrep (one might want to play with its keys):
sudo ngrep -d ppp0 -W byline -qilw '' tcp dst port 1935

2. Open any link to rutube.ru movie in browser and start the movie playing

3. ngrep returned amongst the other:

T 178.65.83.7:60898 -> 82.142.137.137:1935 [AP]
......_........play.@..........Bmp4:rutube/vol21/movies/93/da/93da754255cec9cbf3af6642306dae49.mp4.........

4. Start the other xterm with rtmpdump:
rtmpdump -r "rtmp://video-102-1.rutube.ru:1935/vod/mp4:rutube/vol23/movies/b5/90/b59046bea1ce7fbba6b378e486f0a9fa.mp4?e=1290357512&" -y mp4:rutube/vol21/movies/93/da/93da754255cec9cbf3af6642306dae49.mp4 -o tmp.mp4
As far as it works while rtmpUrl and PlayPath are different you may leave it "as is"

or make it more clear

rtmpdump -n video-102-1.rutube.ru -c 1935 -a vod/mp4:rutube -y mp4:rutube/vol21/movies/93/da/93da754255cec9cbf3af6642306dae49.mp4 -w bcd3b5d4fb04846266405e62a29ab048 -o tmp.mp4 -V

Enjoy via mplayer ./tmp.mp4

and I wonder what might be e=1290357512 from original url?

Sooo... is there any hope to see such ability as grabbing video from rutube.ru under *nix at least in any foreseenable future, my dear friends

IMHO it is much easier to use rtmpsrv or rtmpsuck for downloading from rutube in Linux.
