Google Video d/ls for iPod won't work Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Some of the videos posted on the Google Video site, have a link that let's you download the mp4 file for iPod directly. Since I prefer to watch my videos on the iPod I often use that feature. Unfortunately this link never seems to work on OW. It never starts downloading.

Even right-clicking the link that appears after clicking the download link and selecting "Download link as..." won't work. Anyone else having the same problem?

For now I always have to switch to Safari 3.1 to get those videos.
 
To download any videos or contents, I use the "command+i" keystroke.
For Youtube, the video is at the bottom of the list.
I can save my video anywhere I want.

There is a script to tell OW to reload the video in HD (mp4):

Code:
tell application "OmniWeb"
	set current_url to the address of active tab of browser 1
	set current_url to current_url & "&fmt=18"
	set the address of active tab of browser 1 to current_url
end tell
Or you can do it by symply add: &fmt=18 at the end of the url.

You will find on this page a javascript to watch video on youtube with the Quicktime plugin instead the flash plugin.
Unfornately, it doesn't works with all videos, because all videos are not in mp4.
To keep your CPU low. ;-)

I know how to get videos from YouTube, but this is about getting the pre-converted MPEG-4 video that Google makes available for Google Videos.

I want to avoid having to convert the .flv files to MPEG-4 myself when Google offers iPod ready files anyway.
 
As I posted before, add: &fmt=18 at the end of the url of the Youtube video, then reload.
Once reloaded, show information using "command+i", you will see:
videoplayback…………………video/mp4 at the bottom of the list.
"Save to", rename and add the .mp4 extention.
The video is downloading in mp4.
