Easier solutions for those using Linux

When you watch a video in youtube, it is streamed and temporarily saved in your hard disk.

For Ubuntu users (haven't tried in other distros), the file is temporarily saved in /tmp with name like Flashxxxx where xxxx are some alphabets or digits.

Let the whole video be streamed and then save this file is some other location where you want to save.

But remember, the complete video need to be streamed and you must save the video in some other location before starting a new video in same tab/window.
