Hey Chrisc!

I think this problem is not related to WPF or WebBrowser control. If you sniff traffic from YouTube you find that content-type is application/x-shockwave-flash. It looks like IE reacts on this content type with Save file dialog.

But what you can do is create a standalone html and refer it to the video you are trying to show. Something like this:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>YouTube Video</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <object height="100%" width="100%">
            <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8VQ4f22-SeE&amp;hl=ru&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;
            </param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true">
            </param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always">
            </param>
            <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8VQ4f22-SeE&amp;hl=ru&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="100%" height="100%">
            </embed>
        </object>
    </body>
</html>

Note, original video from your post cannot be embeded, because of permissions.

PS: To see the actual traffic I'm using FireFox + FireBug.

Thanks Anvaka. I tried your suggestion, and it worked nicely. Yes, I do know that my link cannot be embedded. I was just using it as an example to show the link format.

Well. the WPF browser is simply a wrapper around internet explorer. If you try navigating to the same URL in IE, you´ll find that it behaves exactly the same way.

What you probably need to do is generate a string something like the following: "" and load that instead.
