The video could not be independently verified by Reuters.
The man in the video renounces the Syrian army. He says he has been treated well by rebels.
A Syrian warplane crashed in flames Monday in disputed circumstances.
Rebels say they shot it down.
The government says it crashed because of technical problems.
