You could try this ...

rtmpdump -r "rtmp://tv-od.dw.de/flash/" -a "flash/" -f "LNX 10,2,152,27" -W "http://www.dw.de/js/jwplayer/player.swf" -p "http://www.dw.de/discover-germany-the-travel-guide-2012-10-13/e-16260637-9798" -y "mp4:dg/hwagen4112-discoverge01ep_gesamt_sd_avc.mp4" -o hwagen4112-discoverge01ep_gesamt_sd_avc.flv

The how -

I am using debian squeeze, redirect rtmp traffic to port 1935 using the following:

iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1935 -m owner \! --uid-owner rtmp \
 -j REDIRECT

Start rtmpsrv under the user rtmp, like so, then view the web page with a browser on the same machine... 
Up comes the rtmpdump command from rtmpsrv like so...

rtmp at stoney:~$ rtmpsrv
