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

Hi video people,
Does anyone have any experience with downloading Youtube clips? Maybe using the Youtube Api? Would be nice to offer an automated tool to upload a Youtube clip to Commons. For example http://www.youtube.com/user/whitehouse contains quite some interesting (public domain) clips like https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/wiki/File:President_Obama_on_...
