Great news - you can now edit the video and make a new one - try it! And it seems those people that were missing the video can now make one, too. Thank you for this script, too!

I added support for the ability to download videos that are not available in high-definition, in my fork.

Trying to download an arbitrary video, and getting the error

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'hd_src' of undefined

...I found that this slight alteration works, adding .progressive after video_data, when on a dedicated video page:

var xLBD = {};
xLBD.c = function (){
xLBD.f = unescape(document.querySelector("[flashvars]").getAttribute("flashvars")).substring(7);
xLBD.f = JSON.parse(xLBD.f.substring(0, xLBD.f.lastIndexOf("}") + 1)).video_data.progressive[0].hd_src;
xLBD.a = "<div style='position:absolute;top:100px;height:300px;left:15%;background:#fff;border:10px solid #000;font-size:5em;padding:100px;'>Click <a download='lookback.mp4' href='"+xLBD.f+"'>here<\/a> to download your lookBack video.</div>";
document.body.innerHTML += xLBD.a;
}
if(document.readyState == "complete")
xLBD.c();
else window.onload = xLBD.c;
