If you use Ubuntu (or other Linux distribution) and you wish to download some video from youtube.com into .flv file you can try using youtube-dl command line utility. It just downloads videos without any online applications, converters or etc. Type the following command in terminal to get it installed:
sudo apt-get install youtube-dl
Let’s imagine you would like to download the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2leg8mUE9rs (this is part of Military Parade at Red Square in Russia at 9th of May 2010). Just run youtube-dl download utility as follows:
youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2leg8mUE9rs
and in a few minutes you will get 2leg8mUE9rs.flv file that could be viewed using almost any video player like my favorite one VLC.
When you’re watching your video with your browser, you’ll also find it under /tmp. Best regards (sorry for my English)
I have written(based on youtube-dl) a shell script that does the same.

really, man… there’s Firefox extensions and greasemonkey scripts that let you download the MP4 (mp3+h264) version. Look at those for reference and stop getting those horrible flv files… Right now, it’d also be interesting getting WebM.

Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, terrific blog!
Hi just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.
If you can use a GUI, the best solution is to use ClipGrab. You can even select the quality and format of the video to download as well.
