Google is known for its quick reactions to copyright claims, taking down videos from YouTube and Google video at the request of original copyright holders -- especially big players like TV networks. Recently, Paulo Ordoveza found one of his videos was the victim of one of these claims, and it was taken down from Google Video. The strange thing is that he had recorded his piece -- a time-lapse of ...

Omnisio is a free web-based video editor that lets you snip and paste videos from YouTube, Google Video, and blip.tv, with support for more sites coming soon.

The three sites still provide for a very ...

Google recently caused something of a commotion with their announcement that Google Video would be shutting down, and that videos would no longer be playable. In return, Google was offering Google Checkout coupons, which many people were (quite understandably) displeased with. Thankfully, Google appears to have listened to peoples concerns, and has had a change of heart with their policy. ...

It looks like Google Video's transition from a video hosting service to a video search engine is pretty much complete. Yesterday Google sent out an e-mail to the two or three customers who had actually paid to download premium videos from Google Video.

If you guessed this isn't really a hypothetical question you're smarter than you look. So Google goes and buys YouTube for a ridiculous amount of money, and then has to figure out what to with the much less popular Google Video. Today, we have our answer: turn it into ...

Sure, there are plenty of ways to grab a video from YouTube, save it as an flv file, and convert it the file format of your choice. But Zunemytube's got to be the simplest method I've seen so far.

Then you surf YouTube, Google Video or MSN Soapbox and find videos you want to save. ...

Google has not only beefed up their movie showtimes search feature, but they have also included the ability to view movie trailers directly from the search query. When a search is performed for a movie and location in Google, we would usually only see a few listings for the theatres where it is playing, and the next available show times. Now when we search, we get a nice little piece of text that ...

Google is hiding a new secret look for the Google Video page layout. They are leaning towards a YouTube look for this special test. The smaller videos are the most notable change in this new design. The extra large full window Video's are what made Google Video special. I'm not a fan of the new layout, but it hasn't been launched yet, so Google could always switch things up. You can check out the ...
