What I want to do: Add a youtube link. Create a view that will display the thumbnail and link it to the video in a colorbox.
Drupal 6: Very Easy to do
Drupal 7: Next to impossible :( I am totally lost.

Anyone has any insight as to how best to achieve this?

The media module is way too heavy for what I want. IMHO I think it is an overkill for basic media integration.

I also have the same problem, there is no way to do it with drupal 7...
i think to do it in jquery.... with jyoutube plugin and this code for colorbox...

$(document).ready(function($){
//Examples of how to assign the ColorBox event to elements
$(".video").colorbox({iframe:true, innerWidth:480, innerHeight:390});

I've tried, it did not work ....
