Thanks for finding these videos.
My Internet bandwidth is limited to 200MB per day. Except for a 5 hour period between 11:00pm and 4:am, So I wrote this bash script to grab the videos in a Cron job while I sleep.
The script uses the www.splandoo.com web service to get a url to download.
Improvements to this script are welcomed.

#!/bin/bash 
if [ -z "$1" ]; then     
  echo "getYahooVideo.sh <SaveVideoFile> <yahooVideoUrl>"
  echo "example:"
  echo "    getYahooVideo.flv javascript.sh http://video.yahoo.com/watch/111593/1710507"
  exit 1
fi
curl -s -o $1  -L http://www.splandoo.com?url="$2"&[[site="yahoo"&press=download]]
