Caching Youtube Videos

Youtube caches videos on your hard drive after streaming them. To retrieve them in Firefox, go to the folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\2cvbgybf.default\Cache

The files don't have extensions, but if you just played a video it will be the most recent file. Rename it "whatever.FLV". You now have an flv that can be played in the Flash Player or imported into a Flash movie.

Note: You can find the cache folder in Firefox by typing: about:cache in the URL field.
