Not sure if this helps, but you can use TinyOgg to download videos (and it converts them to the free/open source Ogg Theora format, too).

thats great and all but i prefer to use a software program to do this, not a service off the internet some time or another they shut down on me no matter how reliable everyone says it is, orbit hasn't failed me before and it would be nice if there was a close alternative or if the developers could create a linux version

Do you use it just for videos or for other stuff too?

If you use it for YouTube videos, it should be very simple to make a script that modifies the YouTube video URL to get the video file.
