How to watch Google Videos in blocked countries


The google video service is still in beta stage and offers its service only to some countries like the USA. If you are living in a European country like Germany for instance you will see a prompt telling you that the playback feature is not available for that country. There is a smart easy trick that lets you view the videos although you come from a country that is not allowed to view them.

Googles own translate service helps us view the movie. You simply append the url of the video to this string http://translate.google.com/translate?u=

To watch the video http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4668278624367539151 you would open the url:

http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4668278624367539151

    PC-WORLD Germany has an article about this and has published a User Script for this too. The User Script makes the handling with the URLs much easier. Article is in german but the script is easy to find there.
