How to bypass youtube's country filter

[tinyspider]

A quick tip on how to view those infamous videos that give you the "This video is not available in your region"

Let's say the url you want to see is this one:

Code: Select all

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ffa3Qa4ah4 

(that's a cool excerpt from "Metropolis" BTW )

All you have to do is replace the "watch?v=" part of the URL for this: "v/" (without the quotes, that's the embedding code), so it should look like this:

Code: Select all

 http://www.youtube.com/v/0Ffa3Qa4ah4

and voila!, it works

Are there any YouTube links for this site which that handy little trick might apply to?

I just realized youtube has changed its software yet one more time and now this trick doesn't work

I'll let you know if I find a new circumvent to this filter.
