In it, it states that the videos are in 3gp format.

My nokia 3650 from 5 years ago played those!

RTSP, as stated above and linked to, is a transport format. It's not a video codec such as XviD, DivX or windows video.

WHY they chose to go 3gp seems obvious - i've yet to encounter ANY phone that does not play it.

It seems to be either a problem in their server implementation or in the three or four phones (mine included) of posters on this board.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18521763 Sun, 17 Jun 2007 13:44:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18521669 matrix3D : Uh, yeah. Why would YouTube pick such a lousy format (Real)? With the prevalence of Windows Mobile-based devices that probably make up a good majority of the data plans on Verizon and AT&T (until the iPhone comes out), I don't understand why they would have picked this format... they could at least offer the option of choosing either a Real or a Windows stream.

Looks like I'm still going to have to use Orb to watch YouTube videos... and even that's hit and miss. If Orb could work out all the damn bugs (which I don't think they ever will at the pace of their development) none of these mobile versions of video sites would even be necessary.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18521669 Sun, 17 Jun 2007 13:21:00 EDT
