A couple months ago I downloaded a few Tai Chi videos from You Tube
using a Firefox Grease Monkey script. At that time they were all .FLV
files that appeared to need the flash support in VLC to play. But I
guess that does not mean there aren't other formats on You Tube now also.
I think YouTube has completed the process of converting everything to
h.264 now. But it looks like they are still using the Flash Player
and wrapper.
My iPhone does not support Flash, but plays YouTube videos via an
application developed by Apple and Google. If I access a YouTube
video via the iPhone Safari web browser it opens this application
rather than playing it in the browser. I guess that the app is
designed to play h.264 videos in an flv wrapper, without the need for
the Flash Player.
