Default Google Video

Although still in its beta (test) phase, Google Video searches thousands of music videos, TV shows, movies and other files, covering both free and commercial content.

What we liked:
In traditional Google style the video search is reliably fast, accurate and easy to use. Scanning sources across the web, including clips uploaded by other users, it consistently finds high-quality files and provides several ways to filter your results. You can choose to view only free or purchasable content, display videos according to length (long, medium or short) and arrange them by date, title or relevance to your search term.

Clips can be viewed within your browser or via a separate media player, downloaded to your video iPod or Sony PSP, or shared with others via a link in an email or embedded in a web page. There's even an option to play all search results back-to-back, and a dedicated Google Video Player you can install free of charge. Besides listing related videos for each entry, the homepage hosts an ever-changing selection of popular and random clips, making the site terrifically easy to browse.

Reassuringly for parents, all pornographic and other potentially objectionable material uncovered by searches is automatically blocked. And Google did locate footage from Middle Eastern television when searching for details of Iran's nuclear programme, which none of the other video search sites we looked at succeeded in finding.

What we didn't like:
The current beta status of Google Video means it finds fewer results than officially-launched services. For example, it unearthed only 73 Coldplay matches compared to the hundreds found elsewhere. There's also a distinct US bias to the results.

Google Video is no doubt big , but it still is not as big as youtube . There is no video that is not on youtube , and all the vides on google are definately there on youtube . What I like about google video is the new addition of download feature integrated that lets you to download the videos as well , not that it is difficult ob youtube , but a added feature is always noticeable .
A fewer search results may be a problem , but taht can be minimized as it grows bigger.
