If I load a video from the internet, will I still be able to watch it if I no longer have internet access?

This is probably a stupid question, but I’m writing a report on this hearing for work, and I was hoping to watch the video on the train before work tomorrow morning. If I load the video up in the morning prior to leaving for work, will I be able to watch it on the train (where I have no wifi access)? Thanks for any help!

Yes, as long as you don’t shut down the computer or reload the page it will stay loaded.
@Rarebear Thanks for the tip, it sounds like a great concept. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support the site that I needed to download from.
If you need to download just torrent replay media catcher.
@Rarebear Not only did that program not work, but it also changed all of my search settings to Yahoo without my permission and I now can’t delete the toolbar that it installed or change my address bar search settings back to Google. Any idea how to change these back? I wouldn’t recommend that program to people in the future.
It also keeps reverting my toolbar search back to Yahoo even after I delete Yahoo and make Google my default. (I’m using Firefox)
@Fly Oy. Sorry about that. It didn’t do that to me, or at least on the install I didn’t click it. Try deleting the Yahoo tool bar in your control panel install/uninstall programs.
I download youtube videos all the time and convert them to .mp4 files with this program for teaching purposes. It works with Firefox and Chrome.
@Rarebear I finally got it taken care of, but it was unfortunately (and probably intentionally) not as simple as just uninstalling the toolbar. I’m sure it’s a good program for most video sites like Youtube but it’s from a government website and the government uses a completely different program for videos that was incompatible. Thanks for the help, though!
@Fly By videos I had assumed you were using Youtube. Again, I’m sorry about that.
