Save Google Video Files directly as Avi

Everyone knows that it´s possible to download google video files as .fla files directly using services like keepvid.com. Not many do know that it is also possible to save them directly as avi files as well. All you need is this little bookmarklet Save Google Video Files as Avi

Simply save the link as a bookmark and navigate video.google.com and watch a video there. Click on the bookmark and it will show the save as dialog, and the file will be saved as avi and not fla. So, no need for that .fla player anymore and there is also no need to convert the fla files to avi. Watch the movie, hit the bookmark, save, and watch from your computer.

    Actually, Google has their own player now. It’s twice the quality of the flv/avi’s you can rip and they play in full screen! All you have to do is goto the right hand side of a google video and click to download it! You’ll still need to rely on the avi rips if you want to transfer to an ipod though.
