Now with Google Chrome browser downloading flash videos is a cake walk. You don't need any other software to get the video URL from cache. Only thing needed further is your bandwidth to download the video.
Steps:
1. Open the desired streaming video for ex. YouTube and just start streaming the video.
2. Now you may close this window or just open the below link in new tab ---
chrome://cache
3. Search in the list for your desired video URL. You may need some practice in finding out multimedia URLs. Find sub strings like "videoplayback?" for YouTube URLs. For other websites you may try to find extensions like ".flv", ".mp4", etc.
Sample URL:
http://o-o---preferred---bom04s03---v20---lscache1.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?algorithm=throttle-factor&burst=40&cp=U0hTSFlOUl9JUUNOM19RSFZHOlRjc1IzSnhMTnFE&expire=1343934647&factor=1.25&fexp=920912%2C914076%2C910100%2C913602%2C915507%2C907217%2C919804%2C920704%2C912806%2C924500%2C924700%2C913547%2C904721%2C920706%2C907344%2C912706%2C900816%2C902518%2C909414&id=63b1beb58473c186&ip=117.217.5.178&ipbits=8&itag=34&keepalive=yes&key=yt1&ms=au&mt=1343911519&mv=m&signature=963E8654499228D382D491E65FE0CA25D042C5BA.55F7D4E540F8E6E9081E72CAAABF433E936754B3&source=youtube&sparams=algorithm%2Cburst%2Ccp%2Cfactor%2Cid%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Csource%2Cupn%2Cexpire&sver=3&upn=WZYm_t2__xM&title=desi_boyz
4. After finding YouTube URL, copy the link in notepad and just do two necessary modifications ---
a.) Remove the sub string "&range=13-xxxxx" from the URL.
b.) Append the sub string "&title=<your-file-name>" to the end of the URL.
5. Now copy the new URL and open in browser to start video download with desired name "<your-file-name>.flv".
6. If you are downloading from other sites like daily motion, Metacafe, Vimeo, video bash, etc. then directly open the cached URL from step 3. Use "save link as" option if necessary.
