hey... just went to watch something on google video, and it says the content will no longer be available after April 29th!!

There's tons of good Japanese documentarys on google video, so that's a real shame!

i guess we'd better download anything we want pretty quickly!!!

here's a link to a documentary blog which has lots of links to google video:
http://scrapjapan.wordpress.com/

and here's some links to documentaries i've either watched & are decent or have got saved to watch in the future: (you can find lots more linked through the sidebar, and links to other parts where there are more than one part to those below, these are just the ones i was interested in...)

Please link me any good videos on google you find / know of (it doesn't have to be documentaries), so i can download it too before it's gone!!!

If you want to help archive stuff you should check here http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Google_Video

well... thanks for the link, but that all looks pretty complex. i'm just downloading it with orbit downloader...

maybe i could reupload them somewhere though? i dunno...

You could group them into 1GB .zip files and upload them to megaupload, and share the links with us, just an idea.

to be honest, if your going to download them, it's probably easier to do it yourself than to download from megaupload. (it's one click with orbit downloader, and you can download just the ones your interested in)

i was more thinking youtube, actually...

but anyway, please everyone share your favourite google video links!

Can... not... backup...all...the internet

Thanks for the warning (and the great documentary blog link) IceCream!

I downloaded and started uploading some of the videos you linked to Veoh (if anyone has a better site though, let me know), and will link them when it's all done.

thanks!!! yeah, let us know what your acc is!!!

Thank you so much for informing us about this, Icecream! I made sure I saved Kotoba Ojisan for sure, and then I looked through the documentary blog and downloaded all the things I found interesting.

It looks like Google is going to move all of the Google Video content to Youtube now.
