Here is an overview of the google video program:

Google's mission is to organize the world's information, and that includes the thousands of programs that play on our TVs every day. Google Video enables you to search a growing archive of televised content – everything from sports to dinosaur documentaries to news shows.
Just type in your search term (for instance, ipod or Napa Valley) or do a more advanced video search (for instance, title:nightline) and Google Video will search the closed captioning and text descriptions of all the videos in our archive for relevant results. Click on a video title on your results page and you can view still images from the video and, where a transcript is available, short snippets of transcript text.

Some of the videos will allow you to play the video, and will feature a small triangle "play" icon next to the snippet. Try typing in the following search terms to watch free videos: gamespot, Greenpeace, AdWords, badminton, PS3, cattlemen, Hortus, sarong, breakdancing, capoeira. Check out some additional interesting videos.

Recent contributors to the Google Upload program include UNICEF, Employment & Career Channel, CNET, Greenpeace, P. Allen Smith, Global Village Stock Footage and many more.
