Manually Download YouTube Video

Here is an interesting video I wanted to download..
Free Hugs Campaign. And dude, the music by Sick Puppies is Deverastic!!.

Steps to download the video :

1. Open http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4
[ change the above URL with the URL of your favorite video ]
2. View HTML source of the page
3. Go to the location where it reads

var fo = new SWFObject("/player2.swf?video_id=vr3x_RRJdd4&l=219&t=OEgsToPDskJ6hzIz0nthdF_pVo8BRyly"

I'll split this into components

player2.swf
video_id=vr3x_RRJdd4
l=219
t=OEgsToPDskJ0f3WIwmYOzdzgFZ0TSJOI

4. To download, all we need is the video id [video_id] and t id [t].
We build a new URL to download the video :

http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=vr3x_RRJdd4&t=OEgsToPDskJ0f3WIwmYOzdzgFZ0TSJOI

Paste the above URL in the browser address bar and hit enter.
TA.DA.. you get your video.

Just found a site max.subfighter.com where you get bookmarklets to save videos from Youtube, Google and DailyMotion.
