In the new layout video size is sooooo small :(

Video size that adopts itself to the size of your screen was one of Google Video best futures. It would be very stupid to remove it.

Like the new layout, but where did the blue "share" button go?

You could still put it full screen if you wanted to.

Oh I don't know if any one else has mentioned it but you can only get the Charlie Rose programs on Free Today now.

You meant YouTube like?

Thanks. Changed YouTuke to YouTube.

Nice. I love the new layout. There's nothing like watching 320x240 somewhere close to 320x240 size vice stretched double or triple that. It also feels a lot less cluttered now.

This feels more social, because of the extra space for comments.

Is this still working? My laptop dosn't show me the link for the new design, even after i do the javascript thing. I got it to work on my PC earlier so its not a regional thing.

I can't see one of the most important community-like features, like who is linking to that file and how much hits it got already.

On the old layout, you could still see thumbnails if you clicked details on the right.

Come back when they solve the video quality.

Seen it, been there, got the T-shirt.

We are living in the broadband age, yet portals like these still think they can catch users by altering the lay-out of a presentation?
When will they ever learn, the web-audience is waiting for quality, not grainy, foggy stamp-sized clips.

HD would be an option, but i think Google is going for a new skin and 'same old bad quality' instead and meanwhile the audience is already going away, one by one...... fast.

looks great

I don't like the new layout as the it makes the main video very small and a big hole to the right.

I think it's a step back cuz the video size is too small and the thumbnails on the bottom are a waste of space and kind of distracting. I liked being able to click details before to see the thumbnails _if I chose to_.

Poor quality picture, why are they still thinking we are at happy hour and like fuzzy pictures they deserve to lose market share.

I thought Google Video did have an option to see thumbnails from various parts of the video. I'm sure, because that used to be my default setting...

It was part of Google's caption search service a while ago, but was it ever part of regular videos?

yeah i think it has always been there philipp. it's under the details tab

That video is hilarious!

Where does one get information like this? Do you just guess that this link "javascript:setCookie('np','old');window.location.reload();" will change the layout? Share with us your knowledge.

For some reason I can't get this to work.

heres what youll need to do..
choose a video from Google Video.. now on the right side of the screen youll get this yellow thing:

click it.. and youre all done :)

I did what the post said. It didn't show anything. ^^ That still doesn't help me.

then contact Google Video:
video-supportgoogle.com

good luck.. and tell me how it went.. :)

I don't like it. A major reason I use Google video is the big screen. After all, people go to a video site for the videos, not the extra stuff...
