There is 'youtube-dl': http://www.arrakis.es/~rggi3/youtube-dl/
It's a command-line app, but it's simple enough to use:

  youtube-dl http:<YOUR_YOUTUBE_URL_HERE> -o amazing_video.flv

It seems to break every six months or so (changes on the YouTube side
of things, presumably), but the author quickly updates the software
and all is well again.
