For youtube, I use youtube-dl, which you can get from the package manager on Ubuntu (or just download the script.) This way, I can download the videos directly on my file server at home, instead of having to use Firefox to download the file and then manually copy it over.
On the command line: youtube-dl -t http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8ejt5vXTek or just: youtube-dl -t m8ejt5vXTek You can use this script to download single videos or entire youtube playlists. I use the -t option so the video title is in the filename. Normally, I also use --no-mtime so that when I sort the videos by modification date, they are in the order that I downloaded them, instead of the order they were uploaded to Youtube. -Mark C.
