You can download the transcoded video streams (but not the original
video) in the same way you are currently downloading the photo byte,
by accessing media content 1 or 2 (0 is the photo/thumbnail).
photo.getMediaContents().get(1) is the low-quality 320x240 Flash video
codec (H263) and photo.getMediaContents().get(2) gives you the better
quality mpeg4 stream (H264).
