FCOM vs Airport operations

Good Evening,
I have heard many times that B747-400 can takeoffs from runways
like 2500 m but the FCOM tells you someting totally different like 3100 m+...

BTW
some of you may have already seen it but... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtlzL329jqw

Have also seen BLX B744 takeoff from a 2500 m runway in Arlanda
for a 11 hours flight to Phuket (mostly charters have a 100% cabin factor).

I mean B747-400 have so much flaps wich make it generate much ''lift off''
power, but i dont want to be sceptical against the FCOM either...
yeah,i know that there is a difference between what you can do and what
you prefer to do,so i asking you guys if you can tell me if it is POSSIBLE
to takeoff from so ''short'' fields?
