Hi everyone,

I am using a service for my wife called, "ForJoyTV", which lets her watch Japanese television here in the States. Through the app on my Macintosh I am able to save videos for later viewing. I would like to be able to watch these videos using other programs, i.e. VLC or Quicktime, however the program store the video in some bizarre "p2p" cache where each show is in multiple unreadable folders with nonsensical names such as this....

So, this is obviously not a "click on it with quicktime and it runs" format. Is there any way to get this gibberish translated into a single video file that is playable by a program like VLC, etc?

Thanks so much, I appreciate any help anyone can give me!!

:)
 
I think that the data is stored here somehow. This is definitely where the cache for the program is and every time I add a new show, this directory grows. ALL data is just binary regardless of the file format right? I don't think these are actually "text files".
