Firefox is famous for it Add-ons and until recently I personally use DownloadHelper to grab video off YouTube. While DH is still very useful for other site the new king of YouTube grabber is the Easy Youtube Video Downloader! Basicly that add-ons embed three links below the video description to let you download the video in 3GP, MP4 and HD qualities.
And since this is a Linux Ubuntu blog let me give you a small avidemux trick involving two or more video from YouTube. Alright you come across a YouTube channel where a long video is cut in parts to fit the 10 minutes rule on regular account. You like to watch and have that video in one file what are you going to do? Use the EYVD to grab them and avidemux to join them off course. To make it easier download all parts in order to an empty folder EYVD will name the first video "video.mp4" and the second video "video2.mp4" and so one. Once you got all parts let start using avidemux to join them.
First start avidemux if you don't have that program it in the ubuntu repo so all you need to do is add it with the add/remove applications or with synaptic. I highly reccomend it for small video editing job it pretty simple and easy to use. If you already have avidemux skip that part.
Just type avidemux in the search box and it the first result bellow click on them to add them once that done click on Apply and let synaptic do the rest. Once installed you will find avidemux on the sounds and video menu of the applications bar.
Now that you have avidemux and started it you should open the first video when that loaded click on the last frame button.
Append the second part. Append is going to load the second video at the cursor this is why you need to click the last frame button every time after you load a new part.
Once you got all the parts loaded just change the format to mp4.
Leave both video and audio on copy than save video as and your done. The fun part avidemux will join all the files in 20 seconds to a minute max. This is that fast especially on my old workhorse. A word of caution this is only for videos that have been split if you got video from different source you might hell you will need to do some cropping.
