I want to share a tool with you. This software can help you record streaming videosfrom most websites, even videos encrypted by RTMP. It always give me a good result, you can have a try. For another choice, RealPlayer works with most streaming videos.
The OP only needs to do a search for “offline video players” as well as perhaps the codec being used.
For myself, I’ve been very happy for many years using Clipgrab, it’s in the Packman repo. Works great for Flash.
So for instance on YouTube, I’d browse to the page, stop the video (that starts automatically), rt-click on the video to get the video URL, then past the video URL into ClipGrab and hit “Enter”

Not sure why you’re getting that… Are you rt-clicking in the middle of the video image itself, not anywhere on controls or edge?
When you rt-click, you should get the usual context-sensitive drop-down menu and one of the selections (likely the top) should be “Copy ideo uRL”

You can try for yourself, I posted the link. Yes, I click on the middle.

I get a context menu, that at the bottom says “about adobe flash…” and
nowhere a copy url entry. If I try a youtube video then I do see what you say.
Flash is a language, and it is under the control of “them”. Some places do
not want you to download directly and take measures against it, like
removing options from the context menu or adding others. I do not even know
where the temporary download is saved, is not in the .mozilla directory
cache or /tmp.

I get the same menu as you, no copy option, with Seamonkey.
Firefox gives also “Copy Flash Location”
This takes the URL nicely to JDownloader which I normally use to
download stuff.
