For streaming, wget is not going to work. If you try to download a youtube page with it, it will simply download the source code of the page, the JS and the HTML, but not the video itself.
Here's a python script I use for downloading youtube videos to my workstation. You can see that it's not a simple one. I guess you should either write your own utility and work directly on the server providing the content, or look for commercial tools.
