Re: google and youtube videos

You can try videodownloader extension for firefox . It gives you a real hard link for most of the videos you see on the web with those funky java server urls. (most) not all

Re: google and youtube videos

but the thing is, that the method you use is not really valid xhtml.
<code>
<object type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” data=“movie.swf” width=“400” height=“300”>
<param name=“movie” value=“movie.swf” />
<p>no flash?</p>
</object>
</code>

this is valid but somehow IE doesn’t like it… so, it needs tweaking!! (it is “flashsaty” without the container movie…)

to insert google video you use
<code>
http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=
</code>

and add the id you see in the adress bar

cheers,
