this doesnt work now. youtube did some changes to the url for their video. when you click the link from activity window it'll just open the video on new safari window.

@yosoyjosue this happened to me too, but it is just that you are not clicking on the right file... make sure it is the biggest file there (not the one with the web address of the video) and control/alt/double click it... should download as a .flv file...
