This was not my idea, I just noticed a recently posted hack which didn't work so I thought I'd make one that actually works. (At least worked for me, tested with three different videos.)

view page source at the bottom>
var TAG_DISPLAY_URI = "/tags";
var did = "-2992183880068262304";

Admins can delete this if they want... Seems like Rickie3 updated his hack couple of hours later than I posted this one.

This doesn't seem to work for me, all I get is a black screen.

My mistake, I'd omitted the - before the digits.

Just a thought, does this method use more of your bandwidth ?

Server bandwidth? No I don't think so as the videos are loaded from Google site...
