Google Video to stop hosting videos and delete old uploads

[theholycow]

I always preferred Google Video over Youtube and other such sites, but alas, in 2009 they quit allowing uploads. Now I just got an email saying they'll be removing all the videos they accepted before they quit accepting new videos.

If you have any videos on Google Video you can go to http://www.google.com/video/upload and use the new download link there to retrieve them, then upload them to another site.

Google recommends Youtube (since they own it)...why don't they have a button to move your video directly there?

Google video was nice but since they own both and YT is way more popular, it was probably inevitable. RIP GVideo

In today's email:
...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...
