how do you download advertisement videos ?

[vhelp]

ok, someone has to be the first to ask. so here i am.

so, i was on youtube checking out some videos when i came across a video link posted here on videohelp, in another thread. and in watching the ad, i got the idea in my head, "how can i download that ad video!". anyway, that link seems to always push the same ad video every time you enter the youtube video url link, so i thought we could use that in order to help find the link to the actual ad's video. i checked the "video source" (in opera, enter ctrl+u) not sure what it is in other browsers. i'd say, its obvious that the ad video is a youtube video. so, the generated html source code must have it listed in there, somewhere.

so, as the challenge goes, how would you find it ?

video title: "SOLOSHOT2 - join the Robot Revolution! by SOLOSHOTupdates"
video url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqocwWGGrNE

ps: don't use google. i provided the video title as a reference, but not for cheeting since we want to find it via the html source code.

edit: here is the actual video, in case it helps in finding it in the html souce:

I don't quite understand the request, but in any case I want to help (even if it will be useless lol)

I have a friend who wanted to make the same kind of thing a few months ago, he used a video screen capture software to record an advertising video from a website and for keep it on his computer.

Another idea, perhaps with Download Helper (or similar software), it can detect the advertising and download it. Sometimes I noticed it really detects ads videos on other sites.

To find the real link of the advertising, for this I don't know, sorry. I hope I have advanced the research, thank you for reading all of my idea x)
