Users who have slow Broadband connection have a habit of streaming complete videos from video sharing websites(youtube,dailymotion,etc) and then playing them.But what if you want to save it for offline viewing.
The solution to this problem is THE BROWSER's CACHE.Whenever your video completes streaming,a temporary file of that video is created in your browser's cache folder.While it might be easier to reach to the cache folders of IE & FIREFOX,viewing Google Chrome's cache is a tedious process.
So,to make the process easy,just follow this simple process to get the job done:
- Download this small tool for viewing browser's cache: Videocacheview
- Watch the video you want to save,and let it complete its streaming
- Note:Do not close the tab in which the video is streaming,even after it completes streaming.
- Open VideoCacheView,several cache files will be shown.Look for flv/mp4 files.Right click on them=>play selected files, to make sure the cache file you are about to save is the one you want to save.
- double click on that cache file,and copy the full path.Copy that path on any Window's address bar(The bar that shows folder paths for eg. C:/NewFolder etc).
- Now copy that cache file from this folder,and keep it in your desired location.
- Now you have to rename the file with a .flv extension.
- Hurray!! you have a full copy of that video file
