downloading from unfriendly places

[willkg]

This video on pyvideo is hosted on YouTube:

The problem is that YouTube provides no good way to download material from the site.

Here's a list of utilities for downloading YouTube videos:

• Firefox addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-youtube/?src=search
• Miro: http://getmiro.com/
• youtube-dl: http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/
• others....

What I'd like to do is either document the various ways a user can download a video from YouTube and provide a good way on the page for a user to discover that and set up a method that works best from them. Preferably we can solve this in a way that allows us to handle other unfriendly hosting sites.
