YouTube Hack: Watching Blocked Videos March 18, 2008

Posted by Nalts in : YouTube , trackback

YouTube HackJischinger has identified one way of watching blocked YouTube videos (assuming they block only the standard URL). This may not work for everyone, and your last resort is a free “virtual tunnel.” I have used vtunnel before but it requires a major virus wipe after a few sessions. It’s not a safe way to surf.

To watch blocked YouTube videos, simply grab the alpha numeric code from the URL (starting after the = sign) and paste it after this URL: http://www.youtube.com/v/.

Got it? It gives you a full screen image. Example:

Change this:

I tried both links as well, and neither worked. The first one said “This video is not available in your country” , and like sukatra said, I have never seen that one before. The second link said “This video is no longer available”. So I guess your little secret doesn’t work after all.
