[Cross-posted on the YouTube Blog]Last week we sent an email to Google Video users letting them know we would be ending playbacks of Google Videos on April 29 and providing instructions on how to download videos currently hosted on the platform. Since then we’ve received feedback from you about making the migration off of Google Video easier. We work every day to make sure you have a great user experience and should have done better. Based on your feedback, here’s what we’re doing to fix things.
Google Video users can rest assured that they won't be losing any of their content and we are eliminating the April 29 deadline. We will be working to automatically migrate your Google Videos to YouTube. In the meantime, your videos hosted on Google Video will remain accessible on the web and existing links to Google Videos will remain accessible. If you want to migrate to YouTube now, here’s how you do it:
- We’ve created an “Upload Videos to YouTube” option on the Google Video status page. To do this, you’ll need to have a YouTube account associated with your Google Video account (you can create one here). Before doing this you should read YouTube’s Terms of Use and Copyright Policies. If you choose this option, we’ll do our best to ensure your existing Google Video links continue to function.
If you’d prefer to download your videos from Google Video, that option is still available.
As we said nearly two years ago, the team is now focused on tackling the tough challenge of video search. We want to thank the millions of people around the world who have taken the time to create and share videos on Google Video. We hope today's improvements will help ease your transition to another video hosting service.

a good notice :-)
I liked it very much! This is a good option for Googlers!
So can a video longer than the Youtube maximum length be transfered (without splitting it up)? And if you transfer to Youtube, does the original on Google Video disappear?
thankssssss! :D
guess what! like over a billion people today celebrated Easter. more than "Earth Day". not a peep out of you, eh?
Does this affect google apps users and their video tools too?
Thank you Google for listening to them community. There is some great content on Google Video.

Thanks. i like the site.
Not very clear on the process. You have us migrate them, then continue with the nag notice above after we've done it, versus either mentioned you must manually delete them from Google Video - or having the process 'aware' of the migration itself and then delete the videos automatically.
