VideoCacheView automatically scans the entire cache of Internet Explorer, Mozilla-based Web browsers (Including Firefox), Opera, and Chrome, and then finds all video files that are currently stored in it. VideoCacheView allows you to easily copy the cached video files into another folder for playing/watching them in the future. If you have a movie player that is configured to play flv files, it also allows you to play the video directly from your browser's cache.

After watching a video on 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.

Each time that a web browser plays a Flash video file, the .flv file is saved into the temporary folder of Windows. Normally, you cannot copy this temporary file to another folder, because the flash player locks the file exclusively. Also, the file is automatically deleted when you close the Web browser.

Most Web sites today use Flash video files (.flv extension) for playing video inside the Web page. VideoCacheView doesn't provide a built-in video player, but if you already have a video player that is configured to play .flv files, Video CacheView will be able to use it for playing the video files directly from the Web browser's cache.
