Sometimes after watching a video on your web browser, you may want to save the video on your system so that you can view it anytime you want. If you’re thinking about downloading the videos using some kind of downloader, then all you are doing is wasting you bandwidth and time. Because you have already watched the video, and whenever you view an image or video on your web browser, it actually gets saved temporarily in the web browser cache. Now what’s the use of downloading the same video again using a download manager, all you need is a way to extract the currently viewed video from your web browser cache.
Video Cache View is a tool which scans the entire cache of Internet Explorer, Mozilla based Web Browsers like Firefox, Opera, and Google Chrome and finds all the video that are currently stored in it. It even allows you to easily save the cached video files to another user-defined folder for viewing or watching them in future. If any of your media players is currently assigned as a default player for flv files, then you can directly watch or view video from video cache view.
