=== What can I do? ===


The two main tasks are: indexing and downloading.  The easiest and least taxing is indexing (see [[Google Video Warroom#Indexing Videos To Identify Related Videos]]).  If you have some extra bandwidth and space think about running [[Google Video Warroom#Downloading Videos Via Related Video Metadata (aka Listerine)|Listerine]] to download videos.  Both of these tasks are automated and can be left running in the background.  It is often good practice to start a few process of each at once.


=== Cherry picking ===
== FAQ ==
The seed files do currently not include all videos, so you might want to save precious videos explicitely. To do that, add IDs (docid URL parameter of the Google Video) to the "list" file in the same directory as the script, for example:
* Is there any estimate on how many videos are on Google Video?
docid=1545969803753962248
** Wikipedia said it has 2,500,000 videos, a semi-official Google blog mentioned 2.8M
docid=1598207563000425446
docid=-1679753730105404298
and start ./googlegargle
 
To request a cherrypick, add it to this list: http://piratepad.net/gvspecificrequests
 
If you download something from that list, add its docid to http://piratepad.net/TL7KDN8821 so that others won't download those videos for the second time.

Google Video is a video sharing website which is shutting down.

If you want to save your own videos, see the announcement and tools below.

If you want to help archive Google Video, get some machines running and join us in IRC.

Joining the archival effort

The automatic scripts only work on FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, Windows and maybe OS X. They also seem to work fine in Cygwin. Alternatively, you can run *nix in a virtual machine (given you have a fast enough machine).

Anyone can help out, but we would *really* appreciate it if you'd use an *NIX system over any thoughts of doing it on a Windows system.

The two main tasks are: indexing and downloading. The easiest and least taxing is indexing (see Google Video Warroom#Indexing Videos To Identify Related Videos). If you have some extra bandwidth and space think about running Listerine to download videos. Both of these tasks are automated and can be left running in the background. It is often good practice to start a few process of each at once.

Announcement: Uploaded video content no longer available

On April 29, 2011 videos that have been uploaded to Google Video will no longer be available for playback. We’ve added a Download button to the Video Status page, so you can download videos that you want to save. If you don’t want to download your videos, you don’t need to do anything. (The Download feature will be disabled after May 13, 2011.)

How do I download videos that I've uploaded?

On the Video Status page, click Download Video located on the right side of each of your videos in the "Actions" column.Once a video has been downloaded, an "Already Downloaded" message will appear. If you have many videos on Google Video, you may need to use the paging controls located on the bottom right of the page to access them all. This download option will be available through May 13, 2011.

I've downloaded my videos. Now what do I do with these FLV files?

FLV files are videos that have been encoded in the Flash Video Format. You can upload your videos in FLV format to other video hosting sites like YouTube or Picassa Web Albums. If you would like to playback your videos on your computer and they don’t seem to be working, you might need to install an FLV player. In order to find an FLV player to install, try doing a Google search for [ FLV player ].
