An alternative is the "All-In-One Video Bookmarklet" which you can get
here:

http://1024k.de/bookmarklets/video-bookmarklets.html

It's just a little bit of javascript that's small enough to live in a
bookmark. It turns the current page into a list of download links. I
find it a lot easier than youtube-dl.
