This is a software I used years ago, used to download videos I watch automatical

Question

This is a software I used years ago, used to download videos I watch automatically, without clicking anything. It would work in the background and does not slow down the internet. It will capture the videos you're watching (YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, Facebook videos, etc...) automatically. Later, you will see them stored in a folder.

Used: Before 2007.

Operating System: Windows Vista or XP.

Worked best on: YouTube.

Commercial: Yes, I remember cracking the software.

More details: If you stop watching a video online, it will stop recording.

Any knows that name of this software, or any other similar software?

Remember: the notable thing about this software is that:

There is no download button. It works in the background and saves your time.

It does not waste internet downloads to re-download. It saves directly during watching. (It either gets it from cache or records it from the screen).

Explanation / Answer

Probably not the original program you're looking for, but VideoCacheView offers similar functionality, in addition to being free.

It basically scans your browser cache and lets you select which videos to keep.

Features based on your criteria:

Before 2007: No
Windows XP/Vista support: Yes
Works best on YouTube: Yes
Commercial: No
Stops recording if you stop watching a video: It depends on whether or not the video has finished downloading (buffering)
No download button: It has a save button instead which keeps the selected videos
Does not waste traffic: It retrieves the videos from your browser cache, so they are downloaded once while watching

I think the major difference between VideoCacheView and the software you describe is that it's not automatic and requires clicking
