A bit more information. Running on a Mac, latest Lion release. The reason I'm using rtmpdump 2.2c was that 2.4 never worked for me. It did, weirdly enough, work for get_flash_videos. The upshot is that I re-downloaded the version from mplayerhq and built a new version from scratch just in case. Now using that version, everything seems to be working much better. I get one retry and the ffmpeg at the end fails, however, it's good enough for me to extract the clip that I want. Many thanks for forcing me to do that. I kept wondering why I was getting a SEGV when it was running, and it looks like it may just be exercising a code path that "get_flash_videos" doesn't. I thought it may have been an issue with the stream for that particular day, but it looks OK now. Many thanks for your help.
