I don't see a video on http://www.tcij.org/node/907 but on that page I 
see a link to what looks like it could be a video on 
http://www.tcij.org/node/899

Unfortunately on http://www.tcij.org/node/899 I don't see a video, I see 
something done with Flash that I can't play.

Looking at the markup I see something hosted on viddler.com that looks 
like a video file.

A friend of mine was able to extract the video file using a program 
called "get_flash_videos" which is free software licensed under the 
Apache 2.0 license. Unfortunately the code repo for this program is 
hosted on Google:

https://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/

get_flash_videos was able to extract the very long URL for this video:

http://cij.a.ec.viddler.com/cij_azd7gl8g2aa71re4ydkc19f5oov1uh.mp4?fd9f2a1c14aadf1069f046c06af41e2b08c19cc36d86769d8a2512c1bc562d5a4ac1803f8dc1e761e5f787e843757c739b485f75cd0e98c8d9ea624949df88d2efdfe50668

and download the video itself.

The video file is an MP4 video with AAC-encoded sound and H264 video.

So I'd say this video is not encoded in formats favorable to free 
software and the video appears to require Flash to play in the most 
ordinary way (simply visiting http://www.tcij.org/node/899 as most web 
users are likely to do).
