Download Facebook Videos In Google Chrome

Posted by Jaxov Team on March 3, 2010

Wonder how you can download Facebook videos when you are addicted to Google Chrome? Yes you can easily download Facebook videos from Google Chrome's cache once they are completely streamed. Accessing Google Chrome cache is not that easy. So you have to download ChromeCacheView, a freeware software which enables you to access and download files from Google Chrome's cache.

Facebook Video In Google Chrome
Once Google Chrome is installed, just download ChromeCacheView. ChromeCacheView requires no installation as its portable. Now go to Facebook and watch / stream any video. Now open ChromeCacheView.exe and it will display you with the list of all files present in the cache. If ChromeCacheView.EXE is already running then click the Refresh button in the toolbar. Now sort the list according to Content Type and look for MP4 file. Select it and press Ctrl+S or simply navigate to File->Save Selected Items. Ur done! Enjoy the Facebook video in MP4 format!

You can follow the same procedure to download any video you view on Google Chrome like YouTube Videos, MegaVideo Videos etc. We have already shared number to tools to access cache of different web-browsers. You may also like to view other Google Chrome tips and tricks for Facebook here.

    Hey, I want to really express how thankful I am for your article!

    However, I did find that this only worked with selecting "Copy to..." from file menu, as mentioned in another comment.

    I know this is an older article, but please consider fixing it! :)

    Sorry, but it didn't work. when i tried to save the file it was saved in text file format. so i think it you should have some solution for it.

    Hi...i'm following this method but when it searches for cache and just find 18 results. So there's any time limit for when i watched that video before? thx

      It will display all FLV files in your cache. You must stream a full video in your browser before using this software. I don't think partially streamed videos will be there in your browser cache.

    how to save it ?

      Its because you are not using the proper video codec :P

  • Recep Hilmi Tufan

    It's not working for me. It saves as .txt not as mp4.

    • http://jaxov.com/ Wolverine

      Well Recep, if you want to save a file by using ChromeCacheView then first you should select the file by clicking on it and then choose “Copy Selected Cache Files To…” from the file menu. Another way is to select the file you want to save and hit F4 key on your keyboard!

      • nlshrop

        That solved my problem too. Awesome, thanks!

        Also, if you select your file then hit f6 or select "Open link in web browser" CCV will save the file in its proper format in your download folder and show it in the download bar at the bottom of Chrome.

          Thanx man F6 solved everything. Amazing stuff .
