The main issue is not to download the video file (wget can do) but it's to find the url to download the video file.– InglebardSep 17, 2015 at 9:25

You can also use youtube-dl for that. Just copy the url of the video. In case you don't know about the link. Just right click & see View Frame Info you'll see the video url there. Then
youtube-dl videourl

2No need to downvote this. The info in the question is deprecated e.g., Kahn academy site is supported now– jfsOct 20, 2015 at 13:42
You can use wget for that.
type the following command on terminal:
apt-get install wget
Download a single file using wget.
wget "your video url link"
You can use movgrab.
To install Movgrab:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install movgrab
Check this for more information
Or you can download the source, extract it and compile it:
wget https://sites.google.com/site/columscode/files/movgrab-1.2.1.tar.gz
tar xvf movgrab-1.2.1.tar.gz
cd movgrab-1.2.1/
./configure
make
sudo make install

when I type this command "sudo apt-get install movgrab" I have this error "E: Unable to locate package movgrab " Feb 1, 2014 at 8:52

check the link above.. Its better to insert the link between double quotes– MaythuxFeb 1, 2014 at 9:29
You could use this:
wget --force-yes "'echo$http:url'"
and it might work fine this way.
