Hi Maarten,
For casual use, I suggest using the PwnYouTube bookmarklet:
http://deturl.com/bookmarklet-to-directly-download-videos-from-youtube.asp
Note that other bookmarklets are currently broken due to recent YouTube
design changes. I don't have experience with YouTube's API, but JavaScript
execution seems to be the way to go.
Sincerely,
George
