A while back I wrote a Greasemonkey script to add a download link for the videos hosted at Google Video and posted it here on my blog. Recently its started to pick up a lot of attention, mostly because it was on the front of Digg.com for a day or so. Since then, Google Video has added a few new features: 1. Google Video has added some navigation at the top right of the screen that covers up the download link created by the greasemonkey script. Its easy to change in the script since its only about 10 lines of code. Just change the inline CSS and place the box somewhere else on the screen. 2. The greasemonkey script is now irrelevant anyway because Google Video now indludes download links for all free videos. There are also downloads in multiple formats specific to the video iPod and Sony PSP. Here's a screenshot: 3. Google Video now offers some downloads for purchase, including NBA games, old TV shows, and music videos. This will be interesting to see how it grows over time. Glad to see that they are improving their service.
