i have the same model you have and youtube does not fill the screen in media player. you can click on full screen and all that happens is the control buttons disappear. the image does not get any bigger.
this is a commom complaint and i read that it's a Youtube limit and not RIM.
I just got my blackberry last thursday and I have been on these forums everyday.
I asked if you can play youtbue on blackberry but they said no, try bluapple, or videos4blackberry.
But you guys are saying that it actually works?
Im confused???
Sum1 plz help

What carrier do you have? Model Blackberry? OS?

Your blackberry may have the older OS. Only 4.5 enables you to play videos from Youtube, so they were kind of right. You would need to upgrade to 4.5 to get it to work.

I also have 4.3 on my verizon 8330 and it used to work, but today I tried to watch a video on you tube, and it said it was an unsupported video format. Any one else experience this?

4.3 on my Verizon curve shows youtube fine; but yes, the video is small; the quality is OK for what it is, I can still see what's going on just fine and the sound is fine. I plan on trying some of these other mobile video sites people have been mentioning though.
so that hurt...i just tried playing a youtube video on my 8310 i have updated software and it played till i tried to check the fullscreen on it then my bkb rebooted itself
but what i saw the videos where a good size better then not being able to watch them!
Is there anyway you can watch videos on your phone as if it were a regular pc browser?
I can see some videos but I guess its because I'm on there mobile website. Someone enlighten me.
The size of the image of a YouTube video is fixed and unchangable by YouTube who do the conversion. This has nothig to do with the BlackBerry or its software.
Until YouTube decide to change the size of their supplied video feeds, there is absolutely nothing that you can do about this.
Talk to YouTube about this but, don't hold your breath for a change.
As I said in my previous post, you need the 4.5 OS. That's what worked for me on my 8100 which had 4.2 to begin with. As soon as I upgraded to 4.5 I was able to watch videos on Youtube. 4.3 may work as someone has said, but I've never had 3 so 3 don't know. But if you have 4.2 you might as well upgrade to 4.5 instead of 4.3. There's no special software, just an OS upgrade which is free.

Short answer: No
Reason: 99% of the videos watched in a browser on a pc are in flash format. It uses the flash player plugin installed on your computer to render the video and play it.
No flash player exists for phones/blackberry.
Youtube and some other sites work, because they convert their videos to a mobile friendly format.
