The mplayer plugin does allow 'save as'. I try that, and then run from
the command line as
mplayer -vo <?> postad.flv
where the -vo <?> can be omitted altogether, or
where <?> can be gl, x11 or xv, and I get output containing
...libavformat file format detected.
[swf @ 0x87940a8]Compressed SWF format not supported
LAVF_header: av_open_input_stream() failed
Alright I go looking for libavformat stuff, and I find it on my F7, but
that's x86_64 for which there doesn't seem to be a usable flash version. :-(
No libavformat on my ubu/mint boxen -- what about yours, Todd?
Any answer to:
dpkg -S libavformat*
Now, I'm remembering something about ffmpeg, gstreamer .. and now this
is giving me an even bigger headache. I think I'll go have a beer.
Have you tried using the standalone Flash player? Check out

downloads and debug versions. It links to here:
