Besides which, it is probably just a JavaScript Bookmarklet something
like this one, that also works just fine in Safari. It just finds the
H.264 version of recent YouTube videos (sitting there for an iPhone
connection in most cases), and pops a link to download the H.264 into
the YouTube page you are viewing.

You can also do it manually by changing the YouTube URL so the format is
changed to fmt=18 however the Bookmarklet makes it easier.

javascript:if%20(document.getElementById('download-youtube-video')==null%
20&&%20!!(document.location.href.match(/http:\/\/[a-zA-Z\.]*youtube\.com\
/watch/)))%20{var%20yt_mp4_path='http://www.youtube.com/get_video?fmt=18&
video_id='+swfArgs['video_id']+'&t='+swfArgs['t'];%20var%20div_embed=docu
ment.getElementById('watch-embed-div');div_embed.innerHTML=div_embed.inne
rHTML+'%3Cbr%20/%3E%20%3Cspan%20id=\'download-youtube-video\'%3E%3Ca%20hr

20Explorer'?'target':'link')%20+'%20as%3C/i%3E)%3C/span%3E';}void(0);
