In this method, the extra download or grabbing is not needed. This is the strong point and also the attracting point. But it will take some time to grab YouTube or other online FLV. Moreover, this method will be limited by different browsers as some browsers will take measures to avoid. For instance, Firefox and Apple Safari take the temporary files into data base and you can not get easily. So this method is valid for IE and Maxthon. First you have to watch the whole video all through and then it will be found in the temporary. Then how to find the temporary folder?

IE->Tools->Internet Options->General->click “Settings” button in the middle->Click “View Files…”

Maxthon->Options->Internet Options->click “Settings” button in the middle->Click “View Files…”

Among so many files, how to search for the target files, namely, FLV files? Easy, you can right click and arrange the icons by type or time to find the downloaded files. Sometimes, it is called “get_video” without any extensions. Usually, you must rename it into *.flv.

It is also a good way to grab YouTube and convert automatically to other video formats. There is no any annoying complicated operating process. For example, the online free YouTube grabber and converter . Just three steps: 1. Type in the URL of YouTube. 2. Select the output format. 3. Enter your email address to receive converted videos. At last, one click to submit is needed only.

In this way, you do not have to learn about how to operate the software or other troubling things. You can get the grabbed and converted YouTube videos without any effort. The only disadvantage is that you have to wait for some time. You can not get it at once until you receive an email containing the download link for the converted files.
