How can I use the browser cache to view videos

There are times I want to record a video I'm watching, but there is no recording software available that will record from the source I'm using. ie. a video streamed from PBS, or another network like NBC. In doing some research, I ran across a statement that basically said that the video is stored in the cache, and will remain there until emptied. If so, how can I recover it??

Thanx, I checked it out. It may work well, but didn't for me. However, by accident, I see that Myxa, a Firefox add on thingy can do roughly the same thing. I'll mess with it when I've the time. I was trying to find a way to save videos I've watched on places like Amazon or Hulu, because there is no downloader that works on sites like them.
