i can't watch youtube videos on my phone, any ideas?

A couple of questions for you. What are you trying to veiw them in on your Treo, and do you have the correct codecs installed to watch the videos?

Also, a guy by the name of Scott Robin built a search engine just for googlevideo searches. It will not search any video more than 4 minutes long.

From your Treo, type:
http://srobbin.com/mobilevideo/

I tried the same thing. I'm using the standard 700p brower and didn't install any codecs. It appears to want flash.

I typed in a search and it gave me .avi or MP4 as a choice. But when I tried to download videos, it told me that I was limited to a 2 meg file size. Regardless, I would think that if you can download them to your card, TCPMP should be able to play them, as long as you install the right codecs. Now, to figure out why I am getting this 2 mb limit. I often download podcasts through qucknews around the 20 meg mark . .

I get the message:
You either have javascript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's flash player.
I don't get the option to download.

The 2Mb limit is hard-coded in Blazer.

Those files do not open up with Mini Opera - I did though read about a week ago on one of the forums that someone got Flash to work in a limited fashion. Ben
