Youtube videos are viewed in web based video viewer frame where it loads and streams. So it’s very easy to understand that these videos are temporarily saved in our web browser’s temporary cache folder. Cache folders are created on your computer hard drive by browsers to store many kinds of temporary web files to make use of later. Web based videos are are also stored there. So when a video is fully loaded on your browser, we can check that browser’s cache folder and we will must find that video though it may mask itself so that it seems not like a video. The thing we need to do is to change that file’s extension into *.flv (all youtube videos are flv formatted) format so that it will work and playable to video players. The video file is stored in your browser’s cache when you see from any website. The software VideoCacheView can help you to extract the video file from the cache and save it for watching it in the future.
VideoCacheView automatically scans the entire cache of Internet Explorer and Mozilla-based Web browsers (Including Firefox) and finds all video files that are currently stored in browser’s cache. It allows you to easily copy the cached video files into another folder for renaming/playing/watching them in the future. If you have a movie player that is configured to play flv and mp4 files, it also allows you to play the video directly from your browser’s cache.
VideoCacheView doesn’t require any installation process or additional DLL files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file (i.e. VideoCacheView.exe). After running VideoCacheView, it scan the cache folders of your Internet Explorer and Mozilla browsers, as well as the temporary folder of Windows. Wait 5 – 30 seconds until the scanning process is finished, and the main window of VideoCacheView should display all the video files that are currently in cache.
