YouTube vs. Google Video

I've never used either of the two services to upload a video, but from a user standpoint it seems like Google Video would be way more popular for both users and providers.

It essentially hosts the downloadable file for you. It exists in a format that can be converted and used for whatever purposes. DVD, DiVX, iPod, PSP, Portable Media Center (My primary video device), 3gp, etc. YouTube doesn't do that. Flash stinks because you can't do anything with it. Sure, that mat be just what an author wants, but Google Video offers non-downloadable videos too.

I plan to upload some instructional videos to be linked to in a blog. I've noticed many using thumbnails that play YouTube content (MaxConsole.com for instance) and I'd use that functionality if Google Video provided it, but even if not, ONLY Google Video makes sense. Does Google Video have something similar? It's not like I've researched it.
 
youtube back then didn't have restrictions, so people started uploading full movies and naruto episodes for example so they became really popular really fast. Now however they put a 10 minute limit on it. Google has many policies that they have to follow and they came out later than youtube
