Just last night I viewd a video (flv) out of a video hosting site with Opera and with its cache set Very High -- just for this exercise. While the video was displaying in the Opera window, I fired up a linux konsole and navigated down into the .opera/ directory to the cache sub-directory. Seeing the most recent entries and picking off the largest of them, I rightly guessed that was the video and I copied it -- with rename -- to another directory. Rule 1 on the web: If you send it to them to see, read, or hear, they have it. OBTW, if you're curious: The 'loaded' URL is: http://dailymotion.alice.it/video/x3wrzo_fabrication-dune-lampe-triode_tech The simpler, flv-only URL is: http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x3wrzo A pretty kewl video for some of us......
