Everyone knows how usefull Google video is, but sometimes it's a shame not be able to save the content locally...

Well...


Now you can ;)...

But, before a full GUI version is made, I need people to test this out, and report bugs/problems or features they would like to see...
It's in C#, .NET 2, which means you need: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&DisplayLang=en

Then grab the binary from: Here!...

Usage:


The DOCID is the long value in the URL, like: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8248766101102341416&q=fridge <-- The DOCID would be 8248766101102341416. Also note that some DOCIDs will have a minus before them, which should be included in the GGrabber line...

It will look for the AVI at first, but, if Google doesn't have an AVI format, it will fall back to FLV (Flash Video). It will try to save it as "Video name".Format, but if the Video Name contains things like : or / then it can't save them as that and will fall back to using the DOCID.

Remember this is more a PoC than a full program... Have fun!

In eclipse I just use

//TODO
//FIXME
//NOTE
and
//WTF

Which automatically adds a task with a priority. (TODO == normal, FIXME == high, NOTE == low and WTF == high)

For VS2005 I end up using a comment block at the top of the class/function in question.
