Direct Link?

How do I direct link to an AVI on Google Video?

In a thread on the main page about the "Why We Fight" documentary on Google Video, someone posted a direct link that, when clicked, began to download or open the video file.
How does one determine the web address of one of those videos? Right clicking on an image, a photo, will often yeild that advice, but not in that instance.

Do you not see a "download" button to the right of the video window -- there's a choice of Windows/Mac or PSP? Once you click on that, there will be a link you can copy to the link to the AVI [in most browsers the file will start also start downloading but you can stop that if you're just trying to get the URL of the file.

Drag this link to your toolbar. Click on it when you are watching a video.

birdherder: some AVI files are hidden from Windows users.
