This is an old problem, reported several times before and solved half a
year ago.  Use the new option -R (--realtime).  If your rtmpdump doesn't
understand it, get a more recent version from git master (July 2012 or
later).

Then your file in this case will be only 49 MB and seems to look ok.

BTW, I now see that in updating the manual page in July 2012 I forgot to
add "[-R]" to the SYNOPSIS entry.  But it _is_ mentioned in OPTIONS and
in `rtmpdump --help':

	$ rtmpdump --help |& grep real
	--realtime|-R           Don't attempt to speed up download via the
Pause/Unpause BUFX hack
