A simple and easy way to recover videos that you watch on youtube is to dig firefox’s cache. This would prove good when you plan to save a video after watching it online and unfortunately you don’t have a good add-on installed. The same happened to me when i was on my Gaurav’s laptop.
Few simple steps can help you get your video file moved from \cache to \video-directory.
1. Type about:cache in the address bar.
2. Locate the section shown below on the loaded page and copy the cache directory.
3. Use the copied path to browse to the desired cache folder.
4. Now you will see number of files with alphanumeric names and without an extension.
5. Sort files according to size/modified-time.
6. Locate file intelligently, copy it to desired location and rename it with an flv extension.
7. Don’t wait and play it.
This worked for me and i’m getting used to it, may be it seems useful to you too.
