Google video search is giving me Youtube results

Is it just me? I did a couple of searches on google video and I'm getting too many youtube videos which in part I guess it's not surprising but I don't like it at all. On the other hand it might be better to search for youtube videos this way.
is there a filter for this?

what do you guys think?
I'm sorry if this topic is useless, probably you all knew about this already but I have not been very active on VS or Google video lately. Feel free to close this if you don't like it.

U *just* noticed? It's been that way for almost a week.
Also I noticed this fun new feature, where I'll click on a video and get lost in some Italian or other language version of YouTube and all the similiar videos are italian (including comments)...

But the video.google search used to be pretty good, now you'll get 35 pages of useless crap.

Last night I noticed a link to “All Genres,” but now it is gone. It was to the right of “Google Picks.” This morning I was scrolling down the page and I started playing with the new arrow buttons. They allow you to flip through videos in a category that display on the Google Video beta front page.

This morning I noticed a “Featured on AOL” link. It takes you to a page with all the different areas for AOL videos.

Always something new . . .

I like the eyeball-ease of a google search for youtube viddies, you tube makes me mad to look at when the 1st thing pops up is some viral embarrassment, and the comments are quite remed, rimee, remedial and retarted. There.

This site does use TWELVE sources for videos. A large number of posted videos are still from YouTube. Not everyone is going to be aware of the changes on Google Video. The post Ant made is now buried among the other posts here on SiftTalk.

As someone who uses Google Video often, there are small changes made constantly!

So, mauz15, go ahead and post if you feel you need to. That is what SiftTalk is about . . . discussing Sift related issues!

similar to what dotdude just said - mauz, no stress - I was seconds away from doing a similar post a few days ago before realizing that maybe someone else noticed it too...
