this used to work, but doesn't seem to any more, I no longer see any files in /tmp when on YouTube. very frustrating. Can't find any of the right files in FF cache either (all too small).
@xavierjjj yea thats like how you had to do it in chrome (for some reason they went back to /tmp in whatever version of chromium-browser i use now [which might be because i use the open source version])
@testingte Chromium/Google Chrome sometimes stores the videos in $HOME/.cache/chromium/Media Cache or $HOME/.cache/chromium/Cache (in Google chrome replace chromium with chrome). You will need to sort by date and play around with it. Although I normally use chromium I use Firefox when copying YouTube videos.
PS. I hear that some newer versions of flash chop the video into multiple small files thus preventing you from using this trick.
@ghostmarine1000 Ubuntu IS a disto of Linux, and the steps are the same in all Linux distributions (which is why I called it "Download" youtube video's in Linux and not "Download" youtube video's in Ubuntu). The pictures apply to gnome, but ALL Linux distros that use this version of flash store youtube videos in the /tmp folder. I have been using Linux (mandrake, suse, fedora, ubuntu) for over 9 years. You should think before you post! THERE IS NO RECENT SINGLE LINUX, THEY ARE ALL DISTROS.
I just used this method to backup all the videos on my account after noticing that over 7 of my friends disappeared with the message "This channel is no longer available because the user closed their account." when they had no reason to delete their accounts... something fishy is going on here XO

After some time, Firefox and Chrome fucks up, when trying to show youtube flash content. Try doing this in Opera. It should work.
