That's the easiest trick in the book --- when you click to play a YouTube video, the browser downloads the data in /tmp directory with a name of the type Flash<something> (eg. FlashSjfdEf or such). You simply watch the download progress indicator below the picture, and once it is completed, pause the movie, go to /tmp directory and "cp Flash* ~" to get it in your home directory. Later on you can play it in mplayer or so. This technique is very easy and Just Works, I use it on a daily basis. Of course, you might happen to have more than one Flash* file in /tmp, but I typically copy them all, and later on examine which one I need. Not sure if this will work for the OP, though.
