Thank you for posting that information.

I am shocked at the amount of data that had to be entered into the command.

Is there a step-by-step tutorial anywhere that would show me how to do whatever you did to generate the command line you posted?

I have read some of the earlier postings here and for someone new like myself, they are not very clear in some places and seem to assume I know some things I do not know and it seems that a lot of the tutorials say there is some guesswork as to which strings get put into which command line arguments.

After I made my post here, I tried about a dozen tools I found with Google. One of them worked and downloaded this video for me and I did not have to know anything more than how to cut and paste the website url of the webpage containing the video into a text box in this tool. The tool that worked is "rtmpexplorer". To make it work on my pc, I simply copied it plus two dll files that came with it along with rtmpdump and rtmpsrv, both downloaded from the rtmpdump site, to the same folder.

I have been using two video downloading tools which almost always work ("download flash & video" and "video download helper"), but both of those tools would not download the engine building video I mentioned in my OP. One other time, this also happened.

I have no idea why a very small number of videos fail to be downloaded by these tools when so many other videos are downloaded with no problems.

Maybe now the addition of this third tool, rtmpexplorer, will fix this problem.

In any event, based on my own experience downloading flash videos for a few years, I do recommend the 3 tools I mentioned here.
