Google launched a video search service, with which one can conduct a TV treasure hunt. What's more, it allows you to submit videos. I used the Google Video Uploader to upload one of the videos we shot for Graduation CD. Unfortunately, the video has stayed in wait-for-verification mode for almost a week, from April 27. Hence it's still unclear how the video will be presented from the service. According to the program's FAQ:

When will my videos be on Google Video?

We're still in the first phase of the upload program. Once we approve your video submission and enter the next phase, we'll send you an email (to the email address you provide) to let you know that we're ready to add your content to Google Video. Users will then be able to search, preview, purchase, and play your video.

At any time after you upload your video to Google, you'll have the opportunity to add more videos, update the information about each video, or remove your video from the program. The content may be reviewed by Google prior to being made available online. You can rest assured, however, that we'll notify you if we cannot use the content you submit


It seems promising and might be a good alternative other then Internet Archive.
