A Norwegian programmer who calls himself DVD Jon has tweaked Google’s new Video Viewer application to make it play clips that are not on Google’s servers. Google launched the new tool on Monday as part of a Web-based video search service to let consumers use keywords to search its indexed video database. Google restricted its Video Viewer, which is based on the open-source VLC player, to play only files that are stored on its servers.
