    Hi,

    I was just checking out the playstation forums, when I saw thread about streaming video. They said that if you could stream video to your psp, it would save space on your memory stick. This got me thinking about the meaning of streaming video in general. Video that can be viewed while you download it. Since I don't see any "Save file as" pop ups, where is the video being stored on my laptop? and if you know the answer to where the video is stored on the psp, that would be great to find out also. Thanks!

    -Jeff

    on a computer some would be stored in ram and some would be stored in temp directories on the hard drive.

    Either it's downloaded as a temporary/chunk or the whole file. Just like flash animations, they are stored in your browser's temp folder and are deleted at a given amount of time.
