Do you need to be logged in? Perhaps try the -u <username> -p <password> options.

for http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/55595043 I not need any login\password (and I haven't). In browser I can just go to that URL and there is player (as on youtube) which is played video but with youtube-dl I've got HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized
