VideoCacheView: Save Flash Video From Web Browser Cache Folder
Personally, I do not like to install a program that perform a simply task, to prevent Windows getting bulkier, slower or crash (if there are DLL/setting/Registry conflicts).
If possible, I try to look for an alternative program that is freeware, greenware (without adware), standalone program that not require installation (meaning that the program can be double clicked to run from where it’s kept, even if it is save in an USB drive).
Otherwise, I try to look for manual way to perform that simple task. For example, I use the online YouTube downloader written by my friend to directly download YouTube video (when the Internet connection is not stable), or manually retrieve flash video from browser cache folder to share with mom who is only keen on TV set.
So, the VideoCacheView of NirSofer is definitely my favourite!
VideoCacheView can save a copy of video once the video playback is completed. If you start copying the video while it is playing, the copied file is likely corrupted or the video playback is shorter than original.
To copy the cached video file, just right-click on the selected items and press F7 or click “Copy Selected Files To…”. For those videos that are not cached (In Cache = No), right click the item and press F8 (Open Download URL In Browser) or CTRL+U (Copy Download URL) and paste it to download manager.
VideoCacheView - Easily extract and save a copy of video from browser cache folder.
VideoCacheView is working fine on my Windows Vista SP1 with UAC turned on. The last version 1.25 supports most major web browsers, which include Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
You could also manually define cache folder location of Firefox, Opera, and Google Chrome in “Advanced Options” menu. Other than flash video, VideoCacheView supports other common video type as well.
If you are good in Windows Shell Scripting or batch file, VideoCacheView supports command line option switches too!
