Hi all,

can any tell me if it's possible to find out what this is?
Its a clip from open DNS and there are lots of them.
I'm pretty sure that they are references to streamed music videos but is there a way to find out exactly which video?

Thanks

    No sorry, that's the point. When I go into my open DNS account and choose the date and click domains it brings up lots of things and there are lots of these Google video ones all with different numbers.

    I assumed that there would be a way to find out where they go but from your reply it seems as if I can't?

    Thanks

    No, thats just the url of one of the youtube servers .
    The bit that is not there is the pointer to the actual video. It will be appended with a ? and then what looks like a load of gibberish

    Thanks Andy, I'm not sure if there's any more information that I can find to post, but I'll have a look later and if there is I shall post it.
    Thanks again.
