Guest aa Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 When I watch video clips on youtube, it takes time to download it, so that when viewing it for the second time it plays without downloading so it must be cached somewhere. Is it cached on disk or in the memory?
Guest R. McCarty Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Re: Is Internet content cached on HD or in the memory? The content is stored in your Temp folder. For example many videos are in Flash format and if you monitor your temp folder you'll likely see a module with .Flv extension while the video is being streamed.

Not always, especially with streaming video or audio. Depending on DRM settings, it may only buffer in memory. -- If there is a no_junk in my address, please REMOVE it before replying!

You're right, my statement was valid only in a general sense. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(Shell/User) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt
