Google Video in India
Google Video is soon catching up with everyone it seems. 7 out of 10 video links that i get from my friends are hosted on google video. but how do i access them when the service is not available in india? i couldn't, until a few weeks ago. one of my friends then told me a way for indians to view the google videos. i was of the impression that i was the last to find this trick out, but yesterday i met someone who was very happy to know it from me. i thought i will share it with some more people.
Update1: when i first started using this some 3 weeks ago, many people had complained that they don't see any "Put on site" link. i was surprised to find some people getting it and some people not getting the link. i was able to find it until one day before i blogged about it here. i don't see it anymore. i am searching for other ways to achieve the same; until then, see if the following link helps:
- Click the google video link sent to you by others.
eg: miandad's frog jump.
you may get a message that the service is not available in your country. don't despair. - Click "Put on site" link at the top-right corner of the web page. a text box with some text will become visible right below the "Put on site" link. copy the entire text from the text box(place the cursor in the text box, press Ctrl-A and then press Ctrl-C) and paste it in your favourite text editor.
- Search for the text "src=" in the pasted text. select everything between the quotes(") of src attribute and copy it.
for eg: <embed ------ src="phpfrkdjngjfuelfgvf" -------->
here select and copy -> phpfrkdjngjfuelfgvf - Paste the copied text in the address bar of your browser. hit 'Go'(or press ENTER) and enjoy!!
