OVGuide: The mother of all video search engines

OVGuide
Google Video, MSN Video, Truveo -- they're all great if you're looking for search engines for free and legal videos to watch online. But OVGuide can find any video those site can find, plus a ton of copyright-infringing videos uploaded to some of the internet's shadier video sharing sites.
