here is the script I found somewhere on the web (and tweaked a bit) 
which downloads the
video from youtube.com and converts it to .mpg

--SCRIPT-------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
bu="http://youtube.com/get_video.php?";
mkdir -p ~/_download/youTube;
cd ~/_download/youTube;
read -p "YouTube url? " ur;
read -p "Name? " nv
wget ${ur} -O /tmp/y1;uf=${bu}`grep player2.swf /tmp/y1 | cut -d? -f2 |
cut -d\" -f1`;
wget "${uf}" -O /tmp/y.flv
ffmpeg -i /tmp/y.flv -r 24 -ab 56 -ar 22050 -b 500 -s 320x240 ${nv}.mpg;
rm /tmp/y.flv;
rm /tmp/y1;
exit
--SCRIPT-------------------------------------------------------------


as you can see it uses ffmpeg for .flv-->.mpg conversion.

hope it helps
