I'd start here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3172962/how-does-a-youtube-movie-downloader-work-youtube

But as stated, YouTube is working on migrating to HTML5. I don't know what will happen then.

When you use the html5 YouTube version you just need a HTML parser or a regex which will extract the Vid URL. The you need to download and convert.
