For youtube specifically, you can use youtube-dl ( 
http://www.arrakis.es/~rggi3/youtube-dl/ ). It's a python script which 
can extract the url of the video and download it.

for example :
address@hidden ~]$ youtube-dl.py 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDNuq94Zg_8
Retrieving video webpage... done.
Extracting video URL parameters... done.
Video data found at 
http://ash-v87.ash.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=MDNuq94Zg_8
Retrieving video data... 2040k of 8138k

hope that help
