Since you recommend using gnash I decided to try it again - it's a long time
since I tried it before. Can you play the video on
http://brunoabinader.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-kid-on-block-plasma-water-
animation.html ? I installed gnash* and it pulled in two more packages as
dependencies, but trying to play this brought a message about needing another
plugin. When I allowed it to search I lost the message, thought I'm fairly
sure it had gstreamer in the name.

Managed to get the message back:

The following plugin is required:

Managed to get the message back:

You need GStreamer VP6 decoder plugin. These plugins are located in RPMFusion
repository, gstreamer-ffmpeg should help you.

Interesting. To have gnash close to as functional as the flash-plugin,
you need plugins from rpmfusion. Anne, how is the CPU consum with
gnash? The same or close to flash-plugin? If not, where's the
advantage of gnash over flash-plugin?

Gnash uses GStreamer... I think this is quite a big advantage over original
Flash plugin. If GStreamer can use accelerated drivers, then Gnash can too.
And probably everything is faster than original Flash :D Other advantage - and
for Kevin - the top one - it's open source implementation!

I agree, of course, and i know that, though, the only reason to change
to gnash, for me, would be if gnash and all it's needed plugins, uses
less resources than the flash-plugin. But to be honest, i don't have
the time yet to test it completely.

That's because Flash uses patent-encumbered codecs.
Right. So you can't have a "free" flash alternative. At least not a
fully functional one. Fully functional meaning to watch the same
content. Though i appreciate the hard work on gnash.

Well, "recommend" is a strong word. It's the best we have in Free Software,
and in some ways (not just licensing) it's better than the proprietary crap.
But it could be a lot better, in terms of both compatibility and stability.
Can you play the video on
http://brunoabinader.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-kid-on-block-plasma-water-
animation.html ?
Looks like this video has been replaced by an ogv now (yay!), but to play
videos with Gnash, you should have all these (from RPM Fusion Free)
installed:
gstreamer-plugins-ugly
gstreamer-plugins-bad
gstreamer-ffmpeg
