Why are you using a windows app when there ar hundreds of native linux youtube downloaders for youtube. If you'd even searched the software centre you would have found youtube-dl

You can use youtube-dl to pull down videos.

Usage:

youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiV_ue-PbL4

And it will download the video in that link....
