Video, Trailers and Commons

Hi everyone, this week topic is Google video, YouTube video and Movie Trailers. First of all, I want to talk about Movie Trailers. As you have noticed, trailers can be sorted into standard (including small, medium or large) trailer and high definition (including 480P, 720P and 1080P). Comparing the HD 1080 and the standard trailers, HD1080 trailers are more clear and brighter than the standard ones. The reason for this is because there are more dots in the horizontal lines of the screen, as a result, the video show more clear pictures. Beside comparing the HD and Standard trailers, I also watcahed 3 movie trailers as shown:
Stardust, Fido, Illegal Tender and Across the Universe. Within these movies, I would love to watch the first and the last movies, but not Fido. Plz feel free to watch the trailers and see for yourself.
Now, I am going to talk about Google and YouTube video. Although YouTube is now owned by Google, there are some differences between them. First of all, YouTube allows users to be sorted into communities (including groups and contests) and Channels (including Comedians, Directors, Gurus, Musicians, Partners, Sponsors and YouChoose 08) while Google does not sort the video by users. The similarity between Google and YouTube are that both also sort the video by categories (including Comedy, Music video, Sports, Animations, TV show, etc. ) and can blog or upload video in my own blog. Therefore, I guess the reason why YouTube is successful is because they provide a better or more complete services compared to Google. However, what should you do if you want to download a video of your choice? Well, here I am going to provide 2 sites for downloading and playing the video of interested:

http://kej.tw/flvretriever/
To get the video of interest into flv file.
http://www.rivavx.com/index.php?downloads&L=3
To get the player for the video.

The first site provided is actually in Chinese. Here is another easier way.
If your original URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZQ3BMukysg
Then change "watch?v" into "get_video?video_id" and resulted in as followed:
http://sjl-v67.sjl.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=eZQ3BMukysg.
Now you can get your video.
I guess, this is all I can say about Movie Trailers, Google video and YouTube. Hope You enjoy.
