Downloading web-based media can sometimes be facilitated by the following software programs. 

Safari as a browser.  Safari has an interesting ability to let you see the media elements of a webpage.  

VLC as a player.  VLC is a video player that can play many, many different formats of video.  It is my preferred flash video player.

KickYouTube

Simply insert "kick" in front of "youtube" in the URL.

Ex: http://www.youtube.com/videoname becomes http://www.kickyoutube.com/videoname
