Anything to do with a very similar sounding technology that has had a recent rise in popularity for mobile phone photography fans?

What you should try is:

youtube-dl

http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl

A lot of people post here [at the Official Tor Blog] saying with each new TBB release, "Flash still doesn't work!" No kidding? We don't know that already?

Check youtube-dl's list of supported sites at their website. You don't need a browser plugin/addon/extension for this.

I don't know if torify/torsocks is included in the TBB*, but in TAILS I run at the command line (after downloading youtube-dl and a quick verify of the md5/sha1 or sha256 checksums):

chmod a+rx youtube-dl

^ the chmod command only once, then:

torsocks ./youtube-dl URLtovideoorpagewithvideo

Easy. There are other options such as the "User Agent" you may wish to use.

Again, if you use TBB instead of TAILS, programs like youtube-dl may need an additional option, the website for youtube-dl explains it very well.
