I've often used keepvid successfully in the past. Due to the recent Flashback malware, I've disabled Java on my machine (Leopard 10.5.8 on a 12" PowerBook, so no Apple updates available for me). Keepvid requires Java, so I'd have to temporarily re-enable it each time I need keepvid.
Fortunately, I've been using ClickToPlugin2.6.4 -- http://hoyois.github.com/safariextension...ktoplugin/ -- which turns Flash video into HTML5. If you control/right-click on the HTML5 video, you get a drop-down menu that lets you download the video directly as an MP4 or open it directly in QuickTime. Easier and more convenient than Keepvid. Plus, ClickToPlugin offers many more features. And it's free.
