Hi Jürgen, The option to "Record Video" should appear on the Dirpy screen just after the option for "Record Audio". If you navigate with VO-Right arrow past the "Record" button for saving to an mp3 recording at the end of the "Record Audio" section, just after the announcement of how much space the mp3 recording will take up, you'll reach the "Record Video" section. Then I hear VoiceOver announce, "Available Video Qualities", followed by links for "Low - 240p.flv", "High - 360p.mp4", "High - 360p.flv", and "High - 480p.flv". I just VO-Space on the link for "High - 360p.mp4" and this downloads automatically for me. The same thing about not getting a notification that this has downloaded applies here -- just check your Safari downloads window or your Downloads folder for the file. As I mentioned earlier, I just toggle the downloads window to be shown with Command-Option-L, then use Command-` to switch to this window and check that the file has downloaded. You can QuickLook play the file by just pressing space bar on the file in Finder.
If there are difficulties getting the video version, try turning off Safari extensions in the Safari preferences menu. (Command-comma to bring up preferences, then navigate to Extensions and VO-Space. There should be a switch to toggle extensions on and off on the Extensions pane, but you shouldn't have to do this.) The only time I had an error message from the video formats was when I tried to check the dirpy page from my iPad when I was reading mail. So I suspect it may have something to do with whether you are allowing Flash content to be viewed, or have Flash supported on your machine. I haven't had problems with this page on my Mac, but I do have support for Flash content. HTH.
