As many of you may be aware of the fact that hosted video content on Google Video will no longer be available for playback. Google Video stopped taking uploads in May 2009 and now they are removing the remaining hosted content. If you have uploaded Videos to Google VIdeos, then you need to either download them or migrate them to you tube before May 13.

Google Video users recieved this in the form of email newsletter. Here’s a small quote from that.

On April 29, 2011, videos that have been uploaded to Google Video will no longer be available for playback. We’ve added a Download button to the video status page, so you can download any video content you want to save. If you don’t want to download your content, you don’t need to do anything. (The Download feature will be disabled after May 13, 2011.)

Its very easy to either download all your google videos as buttons are being added to Video Status page using which let you either download them or upload to youtube directly after selecting the videos.

After you have finished uploading the videos, you can edit the settings to make it private, public or unlisted.
