My colleague Tim Barmann passes on this find from Lifehacker: Downloads: VideoCacheView Finds Flash Videos in Your Browser Cache.


Browser cache locating utility VideoCacheView searches through your browser cache for already-watched videos--so you can copy them to your videos folder.

Using the utility is simple--just launch the application and wait while it searches through the cache for each of your browsers (even Chrome!), and then either play the file or save it for later...


Free, Windows only, more at the link.

I'm not sure if this is at all related to TechCrunch's post Friday, YouTube Kills Our Video Download Tool. Thursday, TC blogged, YouTube Hopes To Boost Revenue With Video Downloads.
