VideoCacheView 1.02

Extract Web site video files from the cache of your Web browser After watching a video in a Web site, you may want to save the video file into your local disk for playing it offline in the future. If the video file is stored in your browsers cache, this utility can help you to extract the video file from the cache and save it for watching it in the future.
It 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 it. It allows you to easily copy the cached video files into another folder for playing/watching them in the future. If you have a movie player that is configured to play flv files, it also allows you to play the video directly from your browsers cache.
After the video list is displayed, you can use one of the following options, assuming that the video files are stored in the cache (In Cache = Yes):
- Play Selected File: Allows you to play the video file directly from the cache, assuming that you have a video player that is configured to play .flv files.
- Copy Selected Files To: Allows to copy the video files from the cache into another folder, so you will be able to play them in the future.
If you have a video file that is not stored in the cache (In Cache = No), you can use the Open Download URL In Browser option (F8) in order to download the video file. You can also use the Copy Download URLs option (Ctrl+U) to copy the download URLs to the clipboard, and then use then in your browser or in other download software.
Be aware that some Web sites may not allow you to download a video file in this way.
Nowadays most webpages use Flash video files (with the .flv extension) for playing video materials inside the website. VideoCacheView doesnt provide a build-in video player, but if you already have a video player that is configured to play .flv files, VideoCacheView will be able to use it for playing the video files directly from the Web browsers cache.
Known Problems And Limitations
- In some Video Web sites, including YouTube, the video files are not always saved in the cached by the Web browser. When the video file is not saved in the cache, you wont be able to watch it or to copy it to another folder.
- If you use a Web browser based on Mozilla (including Firefox), VideoCacheView will provide a link to download the video file, even if the file itself is not stored in the cache. Due to technical limitation, this feature is not available for Internet Explorer browser.
- For Mozilla-based Web browser (including Firefox), you should close the Web browser in order to view the latest video files that you watched.
