Well I use 2 shell scripts to do the same.
If you watched the video in a browser like Chrome then use this one

#!/bin/bash
for i in `pgrep chromium`
do
     PIDS=${PIDS}$i","
done
PIDS=`echo ${PIDS:0:${#PIDS}-1}`
export IFS=""
for i in `lsof -np $PIDS | grep deleted | grep /tmp/Fl*`
do
     PID=`echo $i | cut -d " " -f 2`
     FD=`echo $i | cut -d " " -f 6`
     FD=`echo ${FD:0:${#FD}-1}`
     cp /proc/$PID/fd/$FD ~/Desktop/$PID_$FD.flvdone
export IFS=" "
done

and if you use firefox to watch the video  then you can use the following

#!/bin/bash
for i in `pgrep -f libflashplayer.so`
do
     PIDS=${PIDS}$i","
done
PIDS=`echo ${PIDS:0:${#PIDS}-1}`
export IFS=""
for i in `lsof -np $PIDS | grep deleted | grep /tmp/Fl*`
do
     PID=`echo $i | cut -d " " -f 2`
     FD=`echo $i | cut -d " " -f 6`
     FD=`echo ${FD:0:${#FD}-1}`
     cp /proc/$PID/fd/$FD ~/Desktop/$PID_$FD.flvdone
export IFS=" "
done



The above scripts are not limited to any particular site.They
basically find out the open file descriptor of the concerned process
(which is playing video on your screen) and from your cache will copy
that video to your desktop.
