The alternative way to get HD video does NOT work at all:

No plugins installed
Downloading http://www.vimeo.com/hd#16042239

Couldn't extract Flash movie URL. This site may need specific support adding,
or fixing.

Please confirm the site is using Flash video and if you have Flash available
check that the URL really works(!).

Check for updates by running: /usr/bin/get_flash_videos --update

If the latest version does not support this please open a bug (or
contribute a patch!) at http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/
make sure you include the output with --debug enabled.
Couldn't download any videos.

By changing line 4604 to read "q=hd", the script now fails when attempting to 
download an SD video from Vimeo (for example, when there is no HD version 
available).  It would be great if the script could detect when there's an HD 
version available and grab that one automatically.
