Yet in all that detailed thoroughness I believe he neglected to mention
one of the simpler techniques, which is to view the relevant page source
in your browser and search for the link (mp4 is a good fishing string)
to the video (far from infallible, of course, but has worked for me on
occasion).

Long Wind's hot page source contains such an external link, in fact (but
it has 301 Moved Permanently, and then when Following: it's a 404 Not
Found).
