Have you just finished watching a great little video clip (FLV file) at YouTube or Facebook or anywhere for that matter? Do you want to save that flv video file for watching on your computer at a later date or sending to someone? This is the simplest way I know of to do that plus it saves you downloading it again as most of the fancy download programmes do.

It's called VideoCacheVeiw because whenever you watch a video clip it is actually already saved to a cache or temporary folder on your pc so all you have to do is find it and save it to a better place on your computer.

VideoCacheView is a no install ie. there's an exe file inside this zip which is the programme, not an installation file/routine. On my pc I have unzipped it to a folder I called downloads and then I made a shortcut to the exe file on my desktop.

Now. All you do is after you watch a video clip you open VideoCacheView. It will give you a list of video clips you have watched. Click the latest one, the one with the most recent Date Accessed time. Click the 2nd button from the left, which says Copy Selected Files To... if you hover over it, then chose where you want to save the file. The only thing left to do is go to where you saved it and give it a descriptive name or you will have hundreds of files like FF004, FF005 etc.

It saves double downloading which is really important for me and it's easy and the programme is so tiny at under 54kb

I should mention here that VideoCacheView does not play the video clips for you and as far as I know neither will windows media player. You have two choices. You can use a freebie like Format Factory to convert the clip to another format that you can play such as avi or mpg4 or you can use one of the free FLV players. I have reviewed 2 of them here, AnyFLVplayer or ApplianFLVplayer or you can try MediaPlayerClassic which comes with Windows Essential Codec Pack from Snapfiles.
