I believe that the only browser which supports flash content and videos is Skyfire -- well -- I know that Pocket IE certainly doesn't, so you won't get to view videos by opening the web pages in Internet Explorer.

When you are saying YouTube threatens to brick your Ax, are you talking about the you tube player? I have LH10, and the youtube player works fine.

No, not in the YouTube player. In IE, when I try to play a video I get a message stating 'Running a system command on this file can be dangerous'. I click on OK, it launches WMP, and tells me it cannot play this video. In youTube player, it just says it cannot get the security cookie.
Other sites vary between 'Need Flash' and 'Filter not installed' messages. I'll try Skyfire and let you know. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thnx KimChee, but......
Just tried it on my Ax. Does not even load. Simply goes directly to 'Installation Unsuccessful'. Had a bugger of a time getting the dll's into my windows folder, now I cannot delete the sms.dll file. So far this seems like a hekuva lot of chyt to go through for an app that I will only use on a very limited basis.

Apologies for the previous post if my language offends. 3 days of trying to get a browser that works has been a little frustrating. Tried Opera Mini as well, with the same amount of success. I have just about reached the 'thrashing' limit for this issue. Since I do not really need it and everything else worx fine (WM6.1 still ROX), I will not suffer for this. Thanks again to webbahboy, KimChee and johnhu for all the help so far.

Try installing the youtubeplay CAB file from here:

youtubeplay 1.0.0.11 - YouTube & FLV Player - xda-developers

It certainly worked for me, and a couple of other people I know, as a standalone player.

That works for YouTube videos. Very Kool! Still no joy with mutlimedia from other websites.
