<p>If you can see video, it is possible to reuse it - there are various applications that will let you use YouTube video, or you could record the screen using a camera, or your mobile phone etc.</p>

<p>Or you could ask the author.</p>

<p>There are many possibilities.</p>

As username_3 mentioned, if you can see it and it has an appropriate license, you are allowed to reuse it.

I would recommend also as they suggested to ask the author first if they can send you a copy somehow. Alternately, I think [youtube-dl](https://youtube-dl.org/) should have you covered for downloading directly. It's a command-line tool so you will have to use the shell of your OS (e.g. Command Prompt in Windows) to use it, but it's fairly easy to use and has a plethora of options for getting the exact quality you require.
