Not a problem; a solution! way to download youtube videos to your palm! 2-steps, need to download ONE program!!! (not selling anything)

Hey, if u, like me, are tired of dead-end programs and online sites that just DONT WORK, heres my home remedy (PLEASE post ur solutions as well! this probably isn't even teh best way, but its worked GREAT for me!)

first of all, u need ONE program, riva encoder, get it here:
http://www.download.com/Riva-FLV-Encoder/3000-2140-10320097.html?part=dl-RivaFLVEn&subj=dl&tag=butto...
and/or here:
http://www.rivavx.com/index.php?downloads&L=3 (scroll down on that page)

also, if u want to make sure the video works BEFORE its on ur palm/treo/etc. get the viewer too...


next, ull need to get these youtube files into .flv (flash) format....hmmm...
http://www.youtubecatcher.com/
should do the trick...

now copy/paste ur youtube url, save the file to your disk (default settings for windows xp (maybe others) are in "my firefox" (or opera, idk)

find the file, and rename it as ".flv"

then open up ur encoder, on teh first prompt box, open up ur .flv

on the second, change the extension (end).flv to wtvr.

ive had GREAT success with .avi and .mp3 (mp3s go in about 5 seconds, even half out long ones!)

try the core pocket media player for avis, and pocket tunes (tx...) for mp3s

good luck!

You could also download Flash Player for Palm OS. http://www.palmpowerups.com/downloads.php?cat_id=2

I've downloaded and installed the Flash player on my Palm TX.  What do I need to do at YouTube in order to view a video?  The message about unsupported link still appears when I subsequently click on a video...

You can't watch youtube videos through Blazer, you would need to download them on your computer using something like the Video Download Helper extension for Firefox or the Flash Saving Plugin for Internet Explorer and then load the downloaded videos on your SD card.

What "Flash Player" are you talking about?

 

To my knowledge, there isn't one in existence...

Sony made a flash player for the Clies, which ran Palm OS 5.  Dmitri modified it to work on all Palm OS 5 devices: http://palmpowerups.com/downloads.php?cat_id=2 - it's the eighth program on the page

I'll check it out.

 

I installed this years ago on my Zire72, but it was flaky and worked only with version 5 of Macromedia...

EDIT: Yep, same program.

That's Flash 5-6. You need at least Flash 8 for YouTube.
