How to convert gvp files?

helpme · 11-09-2006, 09:50 AM

I have looked around but nothing works. I try opening the video with notepad and I copy the link of the video to the internet. Then I download it but it cannot be read by windows media player or anyother program. Is there another solution to converting the video?

Turns out that videos downloaded from Google Video actually have a slightly modified header that prevents them from playing in Windows Media Player or anything that relies on the Windows Media Player engine.

I was looking for a program that would simplify the whole header modification thing. Didn’t want to be going through notepad or a hex editor every time I downloaded a video.

I came by the Naevius GVI converter and tried the demo… it’s a rip off program, it uses VirtualDub to actually do the converting, but from what I’ve read, it’s only about clipping that header. On top of that, Naevuis is charging $20 after the trial expiration… that’s crazy.

I also tried the program listed on here, I really liked that it was a small executable and simple. But in my ever constant search to find a program I also came by one called GVideoFix.

GVideoFix is not as small in file size as this program and it it seems to be doing the header clipping thing because it does the “converting” super quick and doesn’t use VirtualDub or anything like that. What caught my interest was the extra features you get by buying the *GOLD*. I was a bit weary though, no trial version of those features is included, you kind of have to trust it; but hey, at least it's not $20, it's a bit more reasonable. I bit the bullet and paid for it and I can say the features work. It associates with gvp and gvi files so everything becomes one-click converting and one-click download/convert from Google website. The developer is really helpful in responding on the support forums and he told me that the next version is going to have batch downloading features for Google Video and it'll be a free upgrade for those that have already purchased the extra features.

I found the program at: http://www.jlrconcepts.com. Just my two cents, if I come by anything else I'll let you guys know.
