As already said use get_flash_videos, and you get 1280x720 by default (appears
get_flash_videos -r --quality is not implemented for this, only gives high quality
there are a number of different possible resolutions available)

$ get_flash_videos http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/witness/2012/02/20122166933773157.html
