• actually, you can download from google video.  look on the right, where it says "download"...

• not true.  you actually download a 'playlist' if you will, then the google video player streams the video to your desktop.  you never truly download it.  it's just the matter of watching it in a browser versus watching it in the google video player.
  
  LAME.

• there's always a way to download a streamed video. you just have to find out how to do it. fx even has some extensions to download videos from your favorite sites

• how is the encoding?  that's the thing that would bother me the most.  re-encoding something that was already encoded is always a mess with poor quality results.

• they pull the video straight from the site -- so most often they come in .flv formats (flash video), which was created pretty much for online streaming. there are free flv players that you can download--so i wouldn't try to re-encode it (though riva has a free player/converter).
