Through digg's RSS feed, I found this 'blog posting talking about how to download videos from Google Video. And, sure, there are plenty of other ways to do it, but here is the method from the other blog posting with some enhancements:

* Bookmark this bookmarklet

* Go to Google Video and find a video.

* View the page source code and search for the keyword ‘googleplayer‘

* Copy the videoUrl parameter (all of the characters after the keyword ‘videoUrl=’)

* Run the bookmarklet you created and paste the URL into the dialog box.

* Download the FLV movie saving it with a .flv extension.

* Play it with a FLV Player.

    Sorry, I'm not familiar with the intricacies of Google Video. If you're a Ruby user, there is a Google Video API for Ruby which might help.
