Save Flash video files from local cache
It seems sites like Youtube don't create playable flv files any more. In 10.7.5 I see that it creates files in a dedicated "MediaCache" folder, and those files don't play in VLC. With a few othes sites that I occasionally visit, I still see files created in the temp folder that I can play with VLC, though, even in OS X 10.8.2. Edited on Feb 17, '13 07:24:54AM by tempel
Save Flash video files from local cache
Glad to get a reply. I opened the "CachedMedia" file using textedit and noticed the header (text at top of file) is quite different than the header in a playable file. The CachedMedia file when open in a text editor starts with Dfrei and is followed by an xml plist header. The question is what process natively reads that file as a video. Or is it converted before it's read by the browser or browser plug ins. Safari will play it over and over again from the cache file it doesn't download it each time. |
