find streamed video on my pc?

Hi, I hope this is the right forum section....

If there is a video that plays on a website's own player, as in not on an impeded youtube player, how do you go about find it on your pc?
I assume it must be stored somewhere where you might be able to get at it?

There is no such thing as a website's own player. Web pages are rendered locally. The server only hs the contents and is up to the client to do the rendering of said content. Even with things like YouTube, the player is a Flash application that runs locally and streams the video contents from the YouTube server.

Are you referring to the local copy of the web site contents? It's usually in the browser's cache but when you view things like YouTube videos, you are streaming and not necessarily storing as local copy unless you specifically download for later viewing.

unless caching in general is specifically implied to memory only and not disk, a cached copy (while the object is active) will not be on the disk.
cached copies are generally hidden deep under many folder hierarchies under strange folder/file names without extensions, with their folder/file permissions & attributes set in such a way that even an administrator user cannot access them and are generally hard to locate with Windows explorer unless you are able to set the permissions for the file(s) and folder(s) and their attributes with the command line in administrator mode.

What printscreen said.
When there is a video I just have to keep locally, it takes some work. Not much. But some. It does not always work though.

1. Use one browser (your favorite) to go to that site.
2. Open other brand browser and clear its cache and history. Then go to vid clip site and load whole vid.
3. Find cache folder from 2nd browser, and look around for your file.

As for live streams, I don't think this is possible.

If you use firefox, the download helper addon can probably snag you a copy.
