I am told that Flash 7 was usable for Youtube until last November, when 
they changed the gui around the video, and it will take more hacking to 
make it work again.

It should work with the script provided in my previous posting at most 
other sites.  The script disables something in javascript at those sites 
which tries to insist on the latest version of Flash.

There is a python-based script (was youtube-dl, now renamed to something 
else) for downloading flv files, which mencoder can convert to avi, 
playable by mplayer.  I did not try it.  You can also download youtube 
videos as higher quality mp4 at http://keepvid.com and extract the mp3 
from the mp4.  Someone provided a wget script for downloading a flv
directly.
