4. save the flv video somewhere on your MemCard (it will have a size in a range of 10-20MB!!)
5. open Mplayer, and wait until your new video pops up in the list.
6. Click Play in Mplayer, and wait like 5-10 secs to open the flv. file.

There is also a piece of software called UKTUBE out there, which handles the phases 2 to 6 for you. And you can even start watching the video before it is fully downloaded.

UKTUBE requires python2.5 & MPlayer and is currently bundled with media player UKMP, which acts also as a frontend to MPlayer.
