Modifying them?  Often, one of the various download helpers can find
media in a page, and give you some alternative ways to dealing with
their address (download, copy the address, etc.).  If it's embedded in
flash, some of the flashblock plugins may let you copy the address of a
currently blocked flash element.  Though, sometimes that just gets you
the address of a flash player program, not the actual media stream.
