I have no problems viewing youtube content using swfdec in Firefox/Iceweasel since long. It is
available under LGPL for about a dozon architectures. AFAIK, free software exist to generate
FLV videos. Am I wrong?

You are a lone voice.. I have not been able to get it to work all the time. Sometimes it
does.. and sometimes I just have a grey area in my browser which means restart.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have Iceweasel a.k.a. Firefox 2.0.0.13-1, swfdec-mozilla 0.6.0-2,
and libswfdec-0.6-90 0.6.2-1 installed on a Debian unstable amd64. But I'm pretty sure, that
youtube went well with 0.5.0 of swfdec as well.
