I have the same problem with operacacheview and videocacheview. When I
open them they go to the Opera 10 beta cache. When I try to go to the
Opera 9 cache in either program, with the same path to the Opera 9 cache
that opens the Opera 9 cache cache in Explorer, I get the same message
"can't find any record in cache index file! (Yes, I've already tried to
put quotes around the "Opera 9 cache path".)

I too experience the same. Do you both have "Empty on exit" enabled:

opera:config#DiskCache|EmptyOnExit

...under Preferences> Advanced tab> History section?

Try disabling it and restarting Opera and you may find your opera:cache
working once again.

I find this new 'feature' infuriating.

Thanks mate,i did have empty on exit enabled but i fail to see why the
cache viewer refuses to view anything that is in the cache regardless of
empty on exit being enabled or disabled.

With "empty on exit" selected, my Opera versions
(9.27 and 9.64 for Win32)
do not seem to write the real cache index to disk;
hence the index file really is empty, all the time,
as seen by any other application
(or sometimes even by Opera itself,
perhaps depending on version),
which cripples the cache viewers.

How many bytes does Windows report your "dcache4.url" (index file)
to be? Mine always remained 20 bytes, the same as its "empty" state,
even though it kept updating just the "last file name used" field.

Previous hair-tearing over the same thing
(even opera:cache could not see its own cached files)
http://groups.google.com/group/opera.general/browse_thread/thread/dc161032b06f8679

A second, very long thread (75 messages, on several pages),
within which is embedded the same observations:
http://groups.google.com/group/opera.general/browse_thread/thread/d7510bbf544150de

Tim Altman finally identifies the need to turn off "Empty on exit":
http://groups.google.com/group/opera.general/msg/cf95dde577ce43be

Turning it off does allow other things to work
(the cache index file now shows its normal full size and content),
of course at the expense of having to clear cache manually upon exit:
