Yeah, this one's strange. I've never actually seen a truly streaming flash video before ... I guess this is it, and it can't be saved in the usual way (in the /tmp directory).
Ok. Didn't find a way to do it with red5 (probably with a bit hacking it would be possible to dump the contents of the player to hdd, but, imo, project still seriously lacks documentation). So here is the wine solution:
1) Get orbit downloader from www.orbitdownloader.com and use wine to launch it
2) You need to find actual stream location (in this case cp37423.edgefcs.net/ondemand/flash/dc/84/dc848f2ec1b3a9bdb5f0af83dcde7229-46e5677e).
3) Flash videos can be streamed using native RTMP protocol (default port number 1935) or tunneled through HTTP(S), So you can nmap to check which protocol is used (e.g. nmap -v cp37423.edgefcs.net).
4) Once you get which protocol is used (usually RTMP) add this prefix to get the full URL: rtmp://cp37423.edgefcs.net/ondemand/flash/dc/84/dc848f2ec1b3a9bdb5f0af83dcde7229-46e5677e
5) Save the file and use any player, which supports flv file format (mplayeer, vlc player, ...)

I see where you got the location of the stream (cp37423.edgefcs.net/ondemand/flash/dc/84/dc848f2ec1b3a9bdb5f0af83dcde7229-46e5677e)....you first need to use wget to download 2045.flv (do a View>Source on the html page to get the flv location) and then use gedit or pico to view the file and get the information of where the stream is coming from to plug into Orbit.
I got the first stream (66 MB) and mplayer plays it fine. Thanks again!!
