There is a script using Perl::curl that will download a youtube video as as 
mpeg that can be played with mplayer.  It was posted to one of the gentoo 
lists recently, probably this one or gentoo-user.

Google allows you to simply download their videos.  If you choose the PSP 
version, it is also playable in mplayer.

For either of these, you can substitute your favorite video player for 
mplayer -- I believe both xinelib and the gstreamer framework have the 
necessary codecs.
