Thanks!Before trying to download and covert a Flash video, I would always use the following code, saved as a bookmark, to see if YouTube has a quicktime version of the video saved: javascript:(function%20()%20)() I don't remember where I found this (it might have even been on this site, but I can't find it again), so I can't give proper attribution. You can download, compile, and use an ffmpeg command line tool, or you can try another shareware front-end for OS X called ffmpegX there are other commercial tools that can convert flv files as well. (He is thinking about open sourcing it, but he hasn't made up his mind yet.) VisualHub uses the open source ffmpeg library for all the heavy lifting and actual work - that makes VisualHub a frontend to ffmpeg. I use VisualHub as my converter, but unfortunately, the developer has decided to shut down his Techspansion company, and this shareware is currently unavailable except to existing customers.

Reminder, make sure the movie is fully cached in the YouTube flash player first, or you will end up with an incomplete file. flv, and run it through whatever converter you wish to use. Now make a copy of the file by Option-dragging it to your Desktop. Figure out which file you want - there will only be one if you only have one YouTube page up. Open that folder, and then look for files named FlashTmp (they will end in a number). Drill down the various folders you see there until you find one that has a TemporaryItems folder within it. Open Finder and click Go » Go to Folder and enter /var/folders this will get you to the hidden folders. View the YouTube video as normal, pause it, and let it cache fully on the web page. I believe the first entry in /var/folders/ will always be in capital letters. The middle part is randomly generated, and will certainly vary for everyone. var » folders » V4 » V46lRYwnH3uc8gj98CH+t++++TQ » TemporaryItems » FlashTmp0 (If you are looking for other Safari Cache tools, there's a variety of tools to read the SQLite DB and retreive images and html from the database - Google and ye shall find.) After some digging, I found that my video file was stored here: Even if they were, they would be stored inside a SQLite database file, which is not very useful. Adobe FLV files used by the YouTube flash player are not stored in the Leopard 10.5 Safari cache. YouTube uses Adobe Flash file format *.flv files. Besides supporting RMVB, it also supports other video formats like AVI, MP4, MKV, FLV, MOV, WMV, etc.

GOM Player is a professional RMVB player for Windows and Mac. The download would stall and timeout (pausing the Safari download and restarting it caused Safari to restart the download from the beginning - I suspect it was meant to be streamed only.) The download would work fine in the YouTube Flash player, and it would even cache fully within the web page. Lack of options to control video playback. However, I had trouble with a large video one day, and found it was stored in the Google video cache. This still works in Leopard - most of the time.
