Here's some code for downloading youtube videos:
------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

$base="http://videodownloader.net/get/?url=";

if ($#ARGV==-1) {
    print "Usage: u2b.pl \"[youtube-url-here]\"\n";
        exit(1);
        }
        $u2burl=$ARGV[0];

        print "Fetching downloading url...\n\n";
        $contents=`curl -s '$base/$u2burl'`;
        $contents=~s/\n//;
        $contents=~/<a href="http:\/\/youtube.com\/get_video\?(.*)">/;
        $contents=substr($1,0,55);
        print "Found: '$contents'\n\n";
        system("wget -c 'http://youtube.com/get_video?$contents'");
        print "\nAnd now...run mplayer!\n";
------------------------------------------------

Also, you could download "Ook? Video Ook!" Firefox's extension.
