Use JavaScript to look through the user's DOM.

Take anything that's <embed> on the page...

document.getElementsByTagName("embed")
That's usually a video player. The embed tag has a URL, use JavaScript to parse the URL that's written in the embed tag, you have your video URL. if you use JavaScript to navigate to a page, you can effectively download it.

For instance if you used

window.location.href = 'VIDEO URL'; 
you would download the video. Example embedded code:

   <embed width="420" height="315"
    src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tgbNymZ7vqY">
Please note: usually people are using iframes now to plop a video onto the page:

<iframe width="420" height="315"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tgbNymZ7vqY">
</iframe>
So maybe your code should be able to parse things like YouTube URLs within iframes, as well as embedded videos.
