Finding the actual RTMP Stream URL?

Let me go with an example. This is the video embed code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jwplayer/jwplayer.js"></script>

<div id="container">Loading the player ...</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    jwplayer("container").setup({
        flashplayer: "jwplayer/player.swf",
        file: "bmw/250413/vod.flv",
        streamer:'rtmp://216.185.104.75/vod',
        autoplay:"true",
        icons:"true",
        skin:"glow.zip",
        controlbar:"over",
        height: 270,
        width: 480,
        image: "images/bmw1.jpg"
    });
</script>

And this is the actual page: http://www.24framesdigital.com/bmw/webcast/250413/vod.html

Now, what would be the URL of the RTMP stream? I've tried:

rtmp://www.24framesdigital.com/bmw/250413/vod.flv
rtmp://www.24framesdigital.com/bmw/webcast/250413/bmw/250413/vod.flv
rtmp://216.185.104.75/vod/bmw/250413/vod.flv
rtmp://216.185.104.75/bmw/250413/vod.flv

...among a few others. None work. I'm using curl to stream/download the video:

curl rtmp://.../vod.flv -o vod.flv
