NetVideoHunter Downloads Videos From Popular Video Sharing Sites
Firefox: If you’d like to save a video you’ve found on a popular streaming video site, NetVideoHunter is a handy Firefox extension that makes that download a snap.
Most extensions and add-ons enabling video downloading usually place a single link by the Flash video box on certain sites, letting you download the file you’re currently watching. NetVideoHunter places a small icon in the lower right corner of your browser, tracking the videos you’ve watched.
Clicking on that icon will bring up a list of videos, including the current one you’re watching. From that list you can download or play the files. The ability to grab previously viewed videos is rather handy if you’ve decided, after tunneling through a YouTube chain, that you’d like a copy of that video three clicks back. It works on nearly any video sharing site including YouTube, Google Video, Metacafe and Dailymotion.
NetVideoHunter is free and works wherever Firefox does.

Tried this - only problem I saw was that I needed to deactivate it every time I used Netflix. If I didn't, it would bog down my connection by trying to grab every video on the browsing page.
There may have been a way to prevent this, but I decided to just uninstall it.

Does this work with pornhub.com?
@redmonke255: One thing I hate about Download Helper is it seems to re-download the video instead of just pulling it from cache. Which makes me go "FFS"

Download helper is really useful. I don't think this will make me change.
so does VideoBox from tastyapps.com

ByWifi will let you save any flash video, and tries to accelerate streaming from places like youtube:

Works with Firefox and IE (maybe Opera?).
Though IE gives me additional buttons to easily save the files, It will save all videos as you watch them in c:\BywifiShare or wherever your bywifishare folder is.

Currently using download helper for firefox, and it works pretty well. Except the context menu is getting more and more cluttered with every update though :S

Just out of curiosity, does this work on videos embedded into other sites?
Here is another method of downloading videos from popular video sharing site:

I would just like to know what skin/theme is being used for that window? And how to get those extra buttons on the upper-right?

Cool, but what theme are you using?

I think I prefer FlashGot. It can do the aforementioned and more.
