Downloading videos from YouTube without using any software

Did you know that you can save the videos that are played on Youtube without using a software?
If not, read this post and you will know how you can do it... This is quiet geeky but will be useful for people who do not want to install additional software's on their computer's for accomplishing simple tasks.

Here is how you can save Youtube videos in Internet Explorer

1. Open Internet Explorer and clear all the temporary internet files.
2. Now open the youtube video link and wait until the the video is played fully. (at this time the video is saved into the cache folder of internet explorer)
3. Now press winkey + r keys and type "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5" in the run dialog box.
4. Make a search for all files and folders in the Content.IE5 folder and in the search result the file with the maximum size is the video that you played in the youtube.
5. Now copy paste this file and rename it with .flv extension (MyVideo.flv)

If you have difficulties in opening video files with .flv extension, rename the file with .wmv extension


The procedure is same in Mozilla firefox, you will only have to change the cache folder to "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles"

Hope my first post will be informative and works fine with you.
