We started to using Google video a lot, but problem is, after downloading the video on my local drive, I found it is not in avi or other known format and need Google Video Player to play that file. So, started to find a solution for that. And found, when clicking on “Manually download the video”, it is downloading a file with extension .gvp ( Google Video Player ) size of near about 574 bytes where as it is a video of 20 minutes. So, opened that file with notepad, and found an URL in it. After putting the URL on browser, it started to download the movie file in .avi format - voila ….

Example:

URL of Video on Google:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-238850042817058356

Trying to Manually download the video, and it downloaded
