My opinion is that the people writing those articles, as well as many
of the comments one can find on those pages, is of people who mostly
didn't even try to buy a video on the Google Video Store to check how
it really works, or for who internet video distribution is too
complicated. It's big video files and all, lots of bandwidth, lots of
storage, maybe it's too big for some bloggers to understand..

I've downloaded over 4GB of awesome stuff from Google Video Store, so
far I've bought 41$ of video.

3$ for some awesome Charlie Rose stuff (searching "Charlie Rose
Google")

4$ to check out NBA:

file)

4$ for a cool independant feature film (Waterborne featured on Google
video blog):

30$ for some awesome Chick Corea Jazz videos (found them by chance
while looking around for long videos for sale, 14,99$ is though too
expensive! I'll buy all Chick Corea and lots of other of Image
Entertainment's interesting videos if they were like 5$ or less
instead, I've emailed Image Entertainment to ask them put down the
price for Chick Corea videos):

I see using the software gspot, that all those videos have a resolution
of 480 pixels in width.. and the NBA video I've calculated to be
1182kbit/s (as it's 0,99GB for 1h51m39s) I wonder if that is somekind
of re-encoding Google does on all "For sale" content or if it's just a
question of Google probably undertook lots of the encoding of the
initial videos, and that content provider, maybe some content is
already, at different resolution and bitrates, all in the hands of the
content provider.

I'd be nice if someone else could share some more links to awesome
content to check out! Until Google makes somekind of
ratings/recommendations system, we can post cool links in this forum
maybe.. Anyone found some cool documentaries or feature films?
