Download Videos from youtube or other sites without programs

Well, you know that last youtube/facebook vid you played, its already their on your PC.

Usually when you wanted to download such thing you either had to download a youtube downloader program, or use grease monkey scripts.

What if you don't have to ?

You probably know that whenver you are browsing your cache is saved in a special folder on your PC, I will show you how you can, use this cache to have that awesome Music Video.

Note : This can be used with any video online, Youtube, Metacafe, Facebook, just anywhere. This doesn't require any program, just your browser and a media player (vlc, 123, windows, winamp, etc...)

First :

1- Mozilla Firefox Cache :

C:\Documents and Settings\MY PC\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\vlpm6g8u.default\Cache

MY PC : You have to change this with your own windows username

Go to C, Documents and setting, into your username folder,

- here you will have to enable hidden folders, you can do this by clicking Tools in the menu > folder options > View tab > then enable viewing hidden folders - , Local Settings, Application Data, Mozilla, Firefox, Profiles, ulpm6g8u.default, cache Now you can see all your cache files...

2- Google Chrome Cache

C:\Documents and Settings\MY PC\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache

Same procedures till you reach the application data folder, follow above instructions...

Remember you have to enable hidden files here too

Now I will show you in a practical way :

Choosing a video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfwKBaAbXtY

I choose this song since it has been stuck in my head for a while

Note : You have to load the whole video to be able to use this trick.

Now Go to your browser cache in my example I use chrome

I arranged through Modified to see which file is newly added

You can also arrange through size to found the big sizes easier :D

anyhow this file seems like the video I just played :D

".flv" this part is very important !!

Now its ready to be played

That's me enjoying my video in VLC

Note : Some players are not able to play these files

I either use Windoes Classic Media Player (123) WITH updated codecs

OR I use VLC Media Player, You dont have to download any codecs for VLC
