How to play Youtube video on Blackberry Bold

I have tested a YouTube video on my bb bold to find out different ways which can be used to c this video. I mailed the link of that YouTube video to my mobile email address.

· It didn’t work on my bb standard browser

· One possible way is this http://freeiphoner.com/how-to-watch-youtube-videos-on-blackberry-bold-9000/ but I couldn’t try it coz I neither have 3G support nor wifi available at the moment. But maybe people with wifi maybe able to use this option. This link is also related http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=Bold&thread.id=2909

· This browser http://www.skyfire.com/ would be soon available for bb and it should be able to play videos.

· I tried http://keepvid.com/ & http://linkyoutube.com through my bb browser. I pasted the link of that video there and choose mp4 format and then downloaded it and played it, it played only the voice, not the video, maybe the player didn’t support the format fully.

· I tried http://mediaconverter.org but it requires high javascript supporting browser thus it didn’t work on bb standard browser.

· I tried http://vixy.net on bb standard browser and it didn’t open then I tried it on opera mini browser and it worked and downloaded the file but didn’t download it properly thus it didn’t play.

· I tried http://www.catchyoutube.com/ and it didn’t open on opera mini browser and didn’t work properly on bb standard browser.

· I tried http://convertdirect.com and it gave an error while emailing the converted file.

· Then I tried tinytube.net and the problem with tinytube is that u can’t put the direct link of the video, u have to search for it and thus u may and may not find it. If u find it then u can download it and play it but there is risk involve.

· Then I tried it through bolt browser and it didn’t provide live streaming but it gave me the option of downloading it to my bb, I downloaded it which took hardly 2 sec and then I played it and it worked perfectly. http://boltbrowser.com/home.html

· Then I tried http://www.bajaryoutube.com/ on standard bb browser and inserted the link there and downloaded in 3gp and played it and it worked perfectly!

· Then I tried http://www.grab-tube.com/converter on standard bb browser and inserted the link there and downloaded in 3gp and played it and it worked perfectly!

So I found above mentioned 3 workable methods. Do let me know if you are aware of any other.
