Description
===========
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.
It 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. It 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.
With VideoCacheView, you can easily save the downloaded .flv files of
many popular video sharing sites, like YouTube, Metacafe, Putfile, and
more...

IE10.
* Version 2.65

googlevideo.com domain.
* Version 2.63
o Fixed bug: VideoCacheView added YouTube split files with zero
file-size, which sometimes caused the generated merged file to be
corrupted.
* Version 2.62
o Added /cfg command-line option, which instructs VideoCacheView to
use a config file in another location instead if the default config
file, for example:
VideoCacheView.exe /cfg "%AppData%\VideoCacheView.cfg"
* Version 2.61
o For YouTube videos, VideoCacheView now displays your IP address
at the time that you watched the video (The IP address is extracted
from the URL)
* Version 2.60
o Added support for saving the new MPEG-DASH streams of YouTube as
MP4 file that can be played on any media player. Requires to install
additional open-source software: GPAC. VideoCacheView uses the MP4Box
utility installed as a part of GPAC package to convert the MPEG-DASH
streams into a valid mp4 file that can be played with any media
player. Special thanks to one of NirSoft users who gave me the hint
for solving the problem with MPEG-DASH streams.
o Fixed bug with the cache of Internet Explorer (6.0 - 9.0):
VideoCacheView failed to detect a small portion of the cache entries.
o Fixed VideoCacheView 32-bit to work with IE10 on 64-bit systems.
* Version 2.55
o Added option to save and load the entire configuration of
VideoCacheView ('Save Configuration' and 'Load Configuration' under
the File menu).
* Version 2.52
o Fixed issue with Chrome Web browser: VideoCacheView loaded only 4
data files: data_0, data_1, data_2, data_3. It seems that when the
cache of Chrome is large enough, it starts to create more cache data
files (data_4, data_5...)
Starting from this version, VideoCacheView will read these additional
cache data files.
o Added support for merging the new MPEG-DASH streams of YouTube
into one file. Unfortunately, this feature is currently useless,
because I cannot find any video player that can actually play this
kind of files...
* Version 2.51
o Fixed bug: VideoCacheView failed to detect some of the video
files on IE10.
* Version 2.50
o Added limited support for Internet Explorer 10... and there are
some problems with it:
- Many videos are not saved properly in the cache by IE10, and
thus VideoCacheView will not be able to extract them.
- In order to ensure that all cache data of IE10 is saved to
the disk, it's highly recommended to log off and then log on again,
before using VideoCacheView with IE10. If you don't do that,
VideoCacheView may hang or crash...
- By default, IE10 feature is turned off. In order to start
using it, go to 'Advanced Options' window (F6) and check the
'Internet Explorer 10 Cache' option.
* Version 2.46
o Added option to choose the file size display unit: Bytes, KB, or
MB.
* Version 2.45
o Added support for split video files of dailymotion.com
Be aware that the merged .flv file created from dailymotion.com is
not played properly by some FLV players. In order to play this kind
of file, you can try to use the latest version of VLC Media Player.
VLC Media Player has the ability to play the entire merged .flv file,
though it initially detects only the first fragment.
* Version 2.40
o Added 'Use the Web page title as filename' option in the Copy
Video Files dialog-box. If this option is turned on, VideoCacheView
will use the Web page title (As appears under the 'Title' column) to
generate the video filename.
* Version 2.38
o Fixed issue: On some systems, VideoCacheView saved .mp4 files
without a file extension.
* Version 2.37
o Fixed bug: VideoCacheView crashed on some systems while reading
the cache files of Firefox.

automatically resize t
