i have been using the regular v2.3 *.exe from the official download site, like you. Didnt work for me (and i am unwilling to do more rtmpdump testing. i hate that tool!

And i have something much better: GetFLV

), as mentioned several times before.
During the 2 days of testing, instead of the testing you could have gone babysitting next door at your neighbour's and earned the pocket money to buy a Golden Version of GetFLV.
I guarantee you. Once you've tried GFLV on all those popular fancy sites (Hulu, Channel4, iTV, BBC iPlayer) and see how easy it is --GFLV doesnt crash anymore, but it sometimes freezes, or you have to reload the webpages or re-launch the application because GFLV doesnt catch the url's at the very first attempt. Eventually it does catch and download the url!-- you will never go back to trying rtmpdump.
I still test rtmpdump .. simply because i am a mod here, and i need to delete posts or users when they assert that rtmpdump downloads "perfect streams" and this assertion isnt true. So when people (other than me) begin to talk shit, i kick and delete their *ss. That's what a mod like me does. That's why i still fire up
rtmpdump.exe once in a while.
