If you insist on viewing any video on the planet, there is probably no
really satisfactory solution. But you could at least try swfdec-mozilla
and/or mozilla-plugin-gnash which will play some videos. If (i.e. when)
you encounter sites that to not work with them, you can press Ctrl-u and
search for ".flv" in the page source which often reveals a URL to a file
you can download, bringing you back to your original question.
So far I've been able to avoid Adobe's crash-plugin.
