This is some sort of trick to download movies from Youtube without acually using any download trick


Play the video as you normally do (I USE OPERA AS BROWSER)
Then let the buffering complete itself
Go to cache directory of the browser
You'll get the file there & thus no tricks
The fle may be named as XXXX.tmp so rename it to XXXX.flv
TIP
If you are unable to sort the file out of that crap just arrange the files w.r.t SIZE

Its done..................:)

Renaming is too silly when u can just pick it up with video downloadhelper extension in firefox with original name.

It seens that this trick doesn't work of IE.
As I opened a video and let the buffering complete itself.
Then I searched whole My Computer use search option given in Windows XP ( It also search in hidden files) by using option files and folder I typed search XXXX.tmp
But sreach result doesn't show any result file named with XXXX.tmp

Did any other people using IE has tried this and is that work?

dude, "xxxx" is not the real file name :p, replace x with other name (browser does that), e.g. "opr09NQB.tmp" in Opera.

"Internet Explorer (IE) stores Web pages that you view in a folder named "Temporary Internet Files" that is normally kept in the location \Documents and Settings\{User}\Local Settings\."
