To simplify a little you can usually save embedded media in Firefox with Tools|Page Info|Media. There you will see a list of all embedded media on the page. In this you will usually find the url of the video and you can press save on that line. This will sometimes produce an empty file, but works most of the time.

This is how I view most embedded media when at home under Linux.
