Actually, the FFMPEG library handily plays most Flash video (*.flv)
files, even on PowerPC. I've encountered few FLV files that I can't
get mplayer to play on my PowerBook. This is not to imply that there
aren't far more preferable video codecs available...

What really bugs are the web sites that offer no way to easily
download video clips. At least Google (usually) makes it easy; and
there's 'youtube-dl' for YouTube.
