Chapter 25. Downloading Video Entertainment from Google Video

Google Video is a new way to watch your favorite television programs, films, and videos over the Internet. You can browse or search through thousands of free and paid programs, ranging from short video clips to full-length television shows and movies, all commercial-free.

Many independent videos can be downloaded and viewed free of charge. Other videos can be purchased outright for unlimited viewing, or rented for viewing during a specified time period. You can watch videos directly in your web browser or you can download videos for future playback using the Google Video Player. Videos available from Google Video Store can be played back on any personal computer, and selected videos are available for download to Apple's Video iPod and Sony's Playstation Portable devices.

Play around with Google Video a bit and you'll discover that watching videos on your own timetable is kind of cool. Read on to learn more.
