youtube-dl is a neat Python script that downloads videos from YouTube to disk, given a URL. It's a nice way of avoiding the utter crap that is Flash, and allow the use of better media players, like MPlayer.

To Run

It's easy: 

chmod 755 youtube-dl
./youtube-dl -b 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxvpctgU_s8'
mplayer TxvpctgU-s8.mp4
