Playing YouTube and other Flash Video Files (.FLV) on a Windows Mobile device
Submitted Wednesday, April 18, 2007
You can download the free Macromedia (Adobe) Flash Plug-in (adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc) to view some Flash content, but it will not support most YouTube and Google Video files. To view YouTube videos on the Web, you must use the third-party Windows Mobile Web browser Opera Mobile (v8.65 or later) (opera.com).
Otherwise, you can convert FLV files to a different type of file that can be played on another mobile media player such as TCPMP (picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test). You can use the program Total Video Converter (effectmatrix.com/total-video-converter/index.htm) on a PC to convert the files to MPEG4 and then transfer them to your device.
