Google as AVI

Do you use google video much? Have you ever seen a video that you had to have? When you try to purchase the video, google encodes it as a gvi, and you can only view it from a google video player, which sucks. Well, someone found out where the avi are stored and you can download them as an AVi. You can then view it with Windows Media Player (provided you have MPEG4 codec). Anyway, the best part is it's free! You should get it while the site is still up. It's a little complicated to use. The link they provide, you need to create a bookmark of it. Then, go to your favorite google video, and while it's streaming, click your bookmark. It will then ask you if you want to download it. For me, I just dragged the link to the link bar at the top.
