The only problem I ran into was that there was no download link/button. Despite what their directions said, I currently have no way to download my old video because there's no link!

This works for me:
python youtube-dl -t google-video-url

youtube-dl is great, and I find it to be well-maintained also; if ever it doesn't work, I just go see if there is a new version, which there invariably is, and which invariably works. It seems to have a decent feature set, too.
I've had problems with every other youtube downloader I've tried, and none with youtube-dl.

If you haven't used this already,
youtube-dl -U

get_flash_videos will pull the video off almost any random URL.

I ran into the same problem. There is no download link. They should have an option to directly upload it to youtube.
UPDATE: Finally figured out a way to download the video, incase you don't see the download link. Find the "cid" from the "Edit Video Info>>" link and paste it in this url http://www.google.com/video/upload/DownloadVideo?cid=[video_...
