Yes, you can. You can watch it directly in the web browser (which is somewhat choppy until the entire video is loaded) or use UKMP's Youtube program (which I can't remember the name of... UKTube?) which will play them perfectly and at full screen. All you need to do is copy and paste the URL into the program and have mplayer installed.

You don't, because as the N800 says, the format is unsupported. It can play 3gp but only by http and not by rtsp, which is what the mobile version uses, as far as I can tell.

Yes, rather than going to http://m.youtube.com you should use the real YouTube URL, http://www.youtube.com, just like on a desktop. It indeed is best to let the video download fully before playing.

You know, I'm not sure why YouTube bothered putting together a mobile site that is so limited. The N800 isn't the only mobile device that can't play 3GP videos over RTSP. I would think they'd have a small config page where you could set what format you wanted, and what protocol you'd like to stream it as.

Isn't there maybe a way to access the h.264 encoded youtube videos for the iphone ? I mean maybe we could just rewrite that youtube app from the iphone for the n800 if we can get access to the same data. (yeah regular youtube page works but it's nowhere as convenient)

Would this content play without stuttering? The Mediaconverter for the n800 uses pretty low quality settings for movies.
