It's really not very hard to save videos from YouTube, and no
proprietary software is required -- you just need to build the right
URL, and there are various scripts to do that:

  http://www.arrakis.es/~rggi3/youtube-dl/
  http://offog.org/darcs/misccode/youtubeget

(I wrote the second, but I wouldn't have bothered had I known the
first existed...)

The resulting files can be played with VLC or MPlayer.
