Once you open this in the Google Video Player, and let the entire video render, it leaves a cached copy of the video in your My Documents > My Videos > Google Video wth a .gvi ending. At first this seemed like a proprietary format, but I decided to see if changing the file extension could yield information on whether this video was in a editible and non-Google-proprietary format. Then I found if you rename the .gvi file extension to .avi or .divx, you can open this video in DivX player/editor. |
