I have them both saved as offline videos in my YouTube app. But of course google is an evil company and so they're now shown as not available.

If they're never reuploaded I'll see if I can recover them manually somehow.

Unlikely to recover, as the files are stored in encrypted exo files (Not to be confused with Motorola's exo files). You can try Exo Player [0], but in all likelihood you'll only be able to play them on the device itself, not turn them into anything useable for other people.
