Everytime you visit a website, files are locally stored to a temporary location on your computer, these files include HTML pages, CSS stylesheets, JavaScript files and also the videos you watch on sites like YouTube, Meagvideo, Dailymotion and other popular video sites.
VideoCacheView is a freeware utility that will allow you to browse the cache of popular browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox and view the videos that are stored in the temporary folders also known as the browser cache.
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 browser’s cache, VideoCacheView 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.
You can also directly play the FLV files from your browser’s cache in your default player, if you do not have a FLV player yet, you can use a Free Desktop FLV Player, use a Standalone Flash Player or install a plugin that allows you to Play FLV Files In Windows Media Player.
