You can download the videos with youtube-dl if you build it from git. http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/
It does not seem to grab the HD versions (if there are any) though, only SD. I had no luck passing it the original URL but it works if you give it the URL of the iframe: $ curl -s http://vimeopro.com/openstreetmapus/state-of-the-map-us-2013/video/68087537 | grep -Eo 'http://player.vimeo.com/video/[0-9]+\?portfolio_id=[0-9]+' http://player.vimeo.com/video/68087537?portfolio_id=142295 $ youtube-dl http://player.vimeo.com/video/68087537?portfolio_id=142295 [vimeo] 68087537: Downloading webpage [vimeo] 68087537: Extracting information [vimeo] 68087537: Downloading H264 file at sd quality [download] Destination: Tom MacWright - iD, a New Editor for OpenStreetMap-68087537.mp4 [download] 27.5% of 72.74MiB at 4.07MiB/s ETA 00:12 Or short: youtube-dl $(curl -s VIDEOURL | grep -Eo 'http://player.vimeo.com/video/[0-9]+\?portfolio_id=[0-9]+') It would be great to make sure they are never lost by uploading them to https://archive.org . I'd volunteer to do that unless there is an objection.
