How to Retrieve media from browser cache


Recommended Posts

Hi

I want to know if we can retreive media (streaming video files) from the browser cache, all browsers? If we stream the full video does it remain in the cache till we do not close that tab. If yes is there a way to retrieve it, and saving re-downloads?

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, this utility can help you to extract the video file from the cache and save it for watching it in the future.

While watching a video in a Web site, you may sometimes want to save the video into your local drive, and then play it offline later. This utility allows you to capture .flv (Flash Video) files and RTSP/MMS video streams while the Web browser download and play them inside a Web page. After the entire video file is downloaded and played by the Web browser, the video file is saved in the folder that you selected, and you can play it offline later with any Video player.

thnxxx :) these will do for most of the sites, however i mostly visit sites which have rtmp protocols and these softwares do not offer support for that yet. I use streamtransport currently but i have had a tuff time fixing the ActiveX plugin issues with IE8 on win7 x64...tried using some RC from adobe labs for flash plugin and flash player. but not quite stable solution.. Which is why i am looking for a freeware or licensed alternative for in place of streamtransport.
