For anyone who has downloaded GVP files from Google Video, here's a little tool I whipped up in VB.NET that converts GVP to AVI. Well, actually it doesn't really "convert" the file, it just extracts the path from the file and allows you to save it in AVI. Simple, yet handy....

I thought Google Videos and YouTube videos were .FLV's no? unless they changed it?

Based on your contribution I've found another way. Open the Google file with Notepad and copy the video address. Past it in your browser and you will be downloading the video in avi format.javascript:emoticon('\\:D/')

sweet!!! yeah i dont watch google videos very much because they are in that format. Ill deff try this!!

Um.... Yeah..... Those are the same steps that led me to create the utiility to begin with. It's much easier to run the utility and point to the file than it is to open it, copy part of it's contents, then paste it into a browser.

Not to mention the browser eats up some 25 MB of system memory (at least) compared to GVPtoAVI which eats up half as much as your standard browser.

Regardless... Whatever works for you....

I converted the file to AVI. thanksTopher and netnomadic
but, nero showtime will play it, but nerovision gives me unable to insert, neroexpress says unexpected file format. .
What program can I use to make a cvd or dvd ?
Thanks for any help.

ConvertXtoDVD worked for me.
