Solution to youtube’s “This video is no longer available” problem

I am sure not many of you must have encountered this problem, but the below screenshots will actually convey the problem which I was facing for so long.


With the first screenshot you must have been clear that, some videos, even when there is no copy-right issue with them, appear as “Not available”. Second screenshot, I tried to change the url of youtube video from
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgEo_7rMH0Q to
http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/PgEo_7rMH0Q which inturn is a way to access blocked youtube videos(videos, which need you to be above 18) here in india , but that also didnt work. So any guesses what solved the problem ????

Solutions to this problem

Watch the video working,

There are two solutions for this problem :

1. Hotspotshield : This is a free vpn service, which connects to US network. Hence you get assigned a US ip address and hence, you can watch youtube video without any problem. This clearly state that this problem is only for a particular region. Download hotspot shield from here.
2. Youtube High Quality video option to the rescue :If you want to save yourself with the hassle of switching on hotspot shield, then here a better option. Append &fmt=6 or &fmt=18 or &fmt=16to the end of the url and watch the video getting played. For example the above url will become : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgEo_7rMH0Q&fmt=6 or
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgEo_7rMH0Q&fmt=18 or
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgEo_7rMH0Q&fmt=16
