Recently a friend of mine bought a Nokia Internet Table 770. It's a great little device with an ARM processor and a version of linux called maemo. It comes with the Opera browser but unfortunately it has Flash version 6 only.

The streaming features of sites like YouTube needs flash version 8 or even 9. So how can he watch the videos easily in the device? Well, actually is pretty easy (after some search, I hope this can make you save some time).

First you have to install MPlayer for 770. Check out Maemo applications. MPlayer can play FLV files.

Now you need to be able to easily download the flv file from the page. Use the Opera browser of the device and go to this site: http://1024k.de/bookmarklets/video-bookmarklets.html. That's a great collection of Javascript codes that will help you download the videos. Just bookmark them clicking and holding over each link. Use the "Flash Video files (.flv)" as this will download directly from the website you will be looking at (ie YouTube or Google Video).

That's it. Now go to Youtube, choose a video and when the page finish loading just click the bookmarked link and you will be asked to save a .flv file.

You can also open the file directly with MPlayer if you associate .flv with it.

Nice watching!
