Once upon a time, in Linux, it was possible to copy the files being downloaded and played by the Flash plugin out of /tmp and to wherever for later viewing. I was pretty sure this was possible under OS X. And wouldn't you know it, it is. But the files were harder to find. They're stored somewhere under /private/var/folders. I did this to locate them:
find /private/var/folders/ -type f -exec file {} \; 2>/dev/null | grep Macromedia
To figure out the top-level folder that contained them, a google query showed me this thread which clued me in. I don't know if someone pointed out the exact location later (tl;dr) but when I saw the bits about /private/var/folders I did a find in a terminal.
