On that video page there is a "URL" button and when I click on it it shows http://spon.de/vgPAP
At the top of the http://www.spiegel.de home page there is a link "Video" that leads to
Clicking on just the first one that is shown there results that popup in Firefox about "MP4 file" for me.
Now I have a direct URL to such a file:

Ok, as was already written the site is using JWplayer and they are providing H.264 video files only apparently. So if your Firefox does not find the proper GStreamer decoder that might be the reason why jwplayer offers to download the file directly instead of streaming it through the player to you.
From reading the source, their site was optimized for iPad and Flash ;-) And as everyone has Flash but iPad users they provide only HTML5 video files for H.264 since this is the (only?) supported one by iPad and friends. It's even worse because they their detection finds my Flash plugin which is blocked though and do not offer at all the JWplayer option with H.264 although it would play fine on my system. I finally removed Flash completely and voila I get a video. Seems I'll try to live completely w/o Flash instead of using click-to-play. It seems to be even better for broken media detections on websites.
