2) The source video is 74.1 MB on disk (74,139,578 bytes), however, the RTMPdump video is 36.5 MB on disk (36,457,236 bytes). Why is this? Are there elementary streams in the source video that are not being transfered from the RTMP server?
The metadata in your log certainly implies that there are two video and two audio streams.
I looked at the original source file and there are only two streams; one audio and one video. What other reasons would explain the drastic difference in file size? You can download the original source video from http://static.playonsports.com.s3.amazonaws.com/example_expected.mp4. You can download the RTMPdump video from http://static.playonsports.com.s3.amazonaws.com/example_actual.mp4.flv.
3) The RTMPdump video is not seekable, however, the source video is seekable.
Sounds like your player is broken. FLVs should always be seekable.
I used VLC 1.0.5 to play the video. Try the actual link above and seek to 75% into the video.
