Flash Video Download

There are many softwares, extensions, plugins and addons or even websites that allow you to snatch flash videos most importantly youtube videos. But actually theres a continent method to download these videos. Simply wait for the player to load the video completely and then go to following path in your computer,
  • Firefox
    • goto C:\Documents and Settings\<your profile name here>\Local Settings\Temp
    • and locate a file that begins with fla***.tmp, sorting based on most recently created / modified file with a considerable size file (depends on the duration of the video usually couple of megabytes)
    • copy paste it somewhere else and thats your video (just make sure you dont close the browser with the loaded video until you copy it)
  • Chrome
    • goto C:\Documents and Settings\<your profile name here>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache
    • and sort files based on most recently created / modified file with a relevant file size (depends on the duration of the video usually couple of megabytes)
    • copy paste it somewhere else and thats your video (just make sure you dont close the browser with the loaded video until you copy it)
This saves the trouble of having to use other software to get this done
