Did you try using the Chrome Network Developer tool to find the video URL?

Open the comment and play the video using Chrome.

Open the developer tool by pressing F12 (on Windows) select the Network Tab.

Find the video URL using the Search menu and look for MP3 or MP4 elements.

Then choose the URL in the Header tab.

Copy the request URL to a new tab/window.

Try to download the video from the new tab/window.
