There are tons of sites that come up on google if you search for
download youtube flv, or things of that ilk. There are sites that will
give you the direct path to the FLV and you can use their scripts for
any YouTube movie ID url.
FireBug for Firefox and Fiddler for IE7 are two examples of apps that
provide HTTP request logs which allow you to see what the video path the
Youtube video player is requesting and then plug that in to your flv
player. Works fine.
As you will discover, some flvs on youtube (actually, a lot) have no
metadata whatsoever, so you need to use the YouTube API first to get the
video information (specifically, duration, so you can seek).
