Watch banned or removed videos from YouTube
September 2, 2007
“This video is no longer available†is the message you will read on YouTube video player when this video has been removed either by the YouTube (copyrights reasons or censored video…) or by the user that has uploaded the video…
Sometimes the video is unavailable but it’s still showing up in the video search results, but once again you will be prompted with a laconic “This video is no longer available†message…
But stay tuned ! If you really want to watch this video, there is chances that it is still somewhere cached by YouTube…in the same way as you can browse pages in the cache of Google…
Two websites allow to find this “cached” videos for you:
In order to retrieve this “deleted video” you need to get the unique ID of the video on YouTube. To get this unique ID, just copy the end code of the video URL:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNIQUE_VIDEO_ID
Then you just need to paste this ID to one of the two services mentioned and if the video is still in YouTube cache, you will get it !
