Google Video Frame Remover
Removes the frame from Google Video search results.
This script rewrites links on the Google Video search result pages to go directly to the videos rather than Google Video-hosted pages with the side frame. If the script does encounter the frame, it will remove it.

Hmm... I've got loads of scripts and add-ons. Could be a conflict with something.

>> My preferences are 100 results.
Could it be the large number of results?

I'm not sure what could be causing that. I haven't been getting the bug at all.

The bug has returned. But it's nastier now.
I search google through keyword searches.
http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=intitle:%22%s%22&sitesearch=&so=4My preferances are 100 results.
This search...

New idea - will this work to clean links???
I bet most hits have direct urls that can be grabbed right off the search results page.
Why not grab the url based on one of three things in the search results...
1
If the video has "Watch view here" - its url.
2
The url of the sample picture on the left. This works for youtube.
3
If the video has "View thumbnails" - their urls. This works for youtube.
example
intitle:"Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music" - Google Video
http://video.google.com/videosearch?num=100&hl=...
The first hit will probably be...
Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsRWpK4pf90&hl=en
It has 61,000,000+ hits.
The youtube link, the image for the video and the thumbnails all have have "xsRWpK4pf90" in them.
The image in the search results
A couple thumbnails.

A reuters video.

Looking at the search results row in Firebug shows the link is in there.

That seems like it could work, but doing up to 10 XMLHttpRequests would be kind of complicated and would slow things down quite a bit.

>> -- I'm not sure if that's possible --
Couldn't you...
1
Use XMLHttpRequest on the google video page
2
Grab the direct link.
3
On the search page replace the google video link with the direct link.
XMLHttpRequest is way beyond me. But is my logic sound? Or is it possible but just too darn slow?

There's no frame on that page. The frame is only applied to videos that aren't hosted on video.google.com.
