Important: It is very important that you start the Wireshark network capture before you start the video stream. For example: Watch a video on WatchOP or on any other website you know.


Now that your capture is running start the video stream you want to capture. I stored my network traffic capture in the file “C:\test_capture”. Now all you need to do is to select a file where you want to store your network traffic capture. After you selected your network interface click on Options. Now choose the network interfaces from which you want to capture its traffic. To start a capture go to Capture and click on Interfaces… The first step is to install Wireshark on your computer since we will need it to capture your network traffic and save it to a capture file. (The same steps can be performed to retrieve any kind of file so it could be useful at work too.)Įnough small talk for now let´s get down to business 🙂 While this feature might be quite useless at work it might be useful for you at home. Most of the time when I use Wireshark I use it to simply analyze network traffic at work but today I will show you one of the lesser known features of it: Extracting videos from capture files. Wireshark is one of my most favorite tools because it is extremely powerful but not too complicated to use.
