There is a very nice script from Ricardo Garcia Gonzalez which allows you to download a YouTube video directly as a .flv file.

go to http://bitbucket.org/rg3/youtube-dl/wiki/Home and download the file or use wget to download it from command line:

# cd /usr/local/bin
# wget http://bitbucket.org/rg3/youtube-dl/raw/2010.04.04/youtube-dl 

then make it executable:

# chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

To download a video from youtube simply type "youtube-dl URL-TO-YOUTUBE-VIDEO":

# youtube-dl  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IfHm6R5le0

To play the video with mplayer type:

 
# mplayer 5IfHm6R5le0.flv
