Online video lectures

While browsing I found some interesting links sharing the lectures (I am mainly talking about lectures in Physics, Material science, Nanoscience and Technology) online over the net. I sincerely thank people for making these lectures free. Please find the links below, I will be posting more in future. Most of the streaming videos are played either on window media player or real media. It is possible to download all these video by using stream ripper programmes.

Tricks for downloading google video:

There are two different ways of downloading google videos, the first one is to download and play it in google video player.
1. Get to the video you want to download.
2. Click on Download Video; this will ask you to download the Google Video Player and then play the downloaded video using google video player.

The google video format is different than the usual known video format like avi, wmv, mpg, etc.
There for the second trick is
1. Get to the video you want to download.
2. Click on Download Video, this will ask you to download the Google Video Player, which you will not accept, rather you should click on the "manual video download" then a download link for the ".GVP" file will appear, click on it and download the ".GVP" file.
3. Open the ".GVP" file in any text editor. You will see that the file contains several plain text fields, i.e. GVP version, duration, title, description, and the most important is the url. Copy the value of the URL (for e.g. url:http://vp.video.google.com/.....docid=-85555
duration: 22556666, you should copy only the details in italic as shown here) field and paste it into your browser -- it'll automatically ask you to download the source file, no matter the format it was uploaded in (i.e. AVI, MPG, MOV, etc).
