  • swaxhog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The get_video.php is an FLV file, just rename it.
  • wormeyman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Also you can use http://www.videolan.org/ to play the downloaded files. (digg needs an edit feature)
  • razicop, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1wow that's nice, i love firefox and its extensions, thank you very much for share this nice plug-in...
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dupe.

    And BTW, the omnipotent Mplayer does the job.

    FLV PLAYER
  • Drood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Only downside with downloaded stuff from Google Video is the fact that, at least for me, in VLC, you can't skip backwards or forwards. You can only pause.

    Greasemonkey is awesome. I'm pretty harsh when it comes to digging. Very picky. Rarely digg, but this gets one, definitely!
  • xerox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0why dont you guys just use VLC to convert the FLA?
  • freonchill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0doesnt add the download button on my firefox (1.5)
  • 42quarentaedois, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0mplayer can play this .flv files
  • pineapplepaul, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i dont know about youtube and such, but google video now has a feature that lets you download in normal formats (it says Windows/Mac?) as well as ipod and psp ready formats as well. its on the right side by the description of the video
  • fino35, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0is anyone else having problems getting the larger videos. My downloads never start.

  • davidme00, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0pspvideo 9 converts flv files. Just put all files instead of media files and it can convert it to psp format.
  • Vancouver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0just use isquint to covert the file for your video ipod or handbrake

    Now can i do it in safari?
  • NeilM, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Really cool. I shall seek more Greasemonkey DHTML scripts.
  • Agekay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It is useful to save the video if Google does not let you watch it online as it is the case when you're from Germany. But you can download it with http://feelingtea.com/decode/google/ to watch it anyway.
  • Misunderstood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"btw. at YouTube you downloads a get_video.php, does anybody knows what kind of media file it is?"

    Its a .flv file, just rename it to something like mymovie.flv
  • pillfred, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0VLC just gets better.
  • teh_toaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0me likey, but I still want a way to convert google videos from .flv to some other normal video format

    http://www.colourful-zone.com/Store/foc_service.php
    directly to get the AVI, iPod & PSP video format directly from google video if it is available. It is convenience and easier to use.

  • example, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thanks, a friend sent me this link of a stand-up comedian and it's too long to sit and watch at the monitor:
    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-107100689292745836&q=russell+peters

    Now I'll dl it and convert it to iPod video and a DVD.
  • Theodorant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Vidoera can convert flv to mpeg4 so you can videos on your video ipod =)
  • cromulent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0VLC can convert any file that it can play by streaming it to a new file. That includes the videos downloaded from Google.

    Following this link brings you to a tutorial for converting files from Tivo. Start at step II and pick whatever file type you want to covert to. Works great.

  • txtrinitytiger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hi,

    I'm actually a Google Video fan myself. I decided to attack the root of the problem and figure out why the downloaded files weren't playing in Windows Media Player. With some playing around and looking at the format of the video files, I wrote a small program that takes out the messy work and makes it really simple to download and modify the video files so they're compatible with Windows Media Player.

    The link to the program is: http://www.jlramirez.info/projects/gVideoFIX

    and the link to its blog post with an explanation of how it works is at:

  • vhold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very nice.
  • kagayaki1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't mind dupes like this so much - not everyone gets to check Digg everyday and sometimes you just miss stuff. I missed this one, and I'm glad it showed up again. Nice work.
  • subway18223, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0haha i didnt know it was a dupe landon......well atleast this story got a lot of diggs man.....
  • Danon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Convert FLV files to any video format by following software: http://geovid.com/Flash_To_Video_Encoder/
