Javimoya’s Video Downloader
Javimoya’s Video Downloader helps you to download online videos directly to your computer, right from the web page itself, without any installation, and works in all operating system and computer. What Video Downloader does is, it extracts the hidden links to the media files that embedded in the HTML code, and displays the downloadable links for you to download the videos. All you need to do is just select the video site’s tab, input the URL of the video (appears on the address bar of the web page where video will play on it) which you want to download into the text box, and then just follow the download instructions.

Manual Steps for Videos Played in Microsoft Media Player
If you found a video that plays directly in Microsoft Media Player, try to right click on the movie display screen and then select properties. The last property - Location - will contain URL link to the media file. If the URL ends with .wmv, .mpg or other extension, except .asx, the video or the media file can be downloaded by any download manager by using the link.
If the link ended with .asx, .wvx or other similar extension, open with notepad and find the line starting with mms:. The mss: link can be downloaded by using FlashGet.
If the video is embedded in a web page, then click on View -> Source (in IE), Page Source (in Firefox), and search for video files extensions such as .mwv, .mov, .mov and etc.
Manual Steps for Videos Played in Quicktime and Real Player
Videos and media files in .swf or .rm format, try to use URL Snooper. URL Snooper is a program to help users locate the urls of audio and video files so that they can be recorded.
You can also use the View Source Code method to search for the link to videos yourself.
Notes
Most videos will be in the .mwv, .mov, .avi, .mp4, .swf or .flv format. To play a .flv media file, you will need FLV Player, or VLC Player.

Or you could just go to http://www.videocodezone.com/conversion.php.
Specify the URL and output type(my favorite is MP4 for IPOD of course)
and it spits out that file. Pretty cool. Only thing is they support
YouTube and DailyMotion only at this point so hopefully they will have
more video sites in future.
