amd64 flash setup not working on youtube?



Hi

I had a old hard drive begin to fail, so I did a fresh debian-installer testing install and then did
a quick upgrade to sid. I installed amd64 version of debian. I had used i386 version on that machine
before.

I would like to view google and youtube videos on that machine. I enabled the multimedia archive
http://debian-multimedia.org/

When i tried and installed

swfdec-mozilla - Mozilla plugin for SWF files (Macromedia Flash)
libswfdec-0.8-0-dbg - SWF (Macromedia Flash) decoder library
libswfdec-0.8-0 - SWF (Macromedia Flash) decoder library
libswfdec-0.8-dev

i was able to watch some stuff on youtube, but not others: for instance

practical common lisp video 

(from google videos) is not watchable on youtube

nor for instance is

Galois Theory and Representation Theory I
 
however
How to solve a Rubicks's cube part one 
can be viewed, while
3 year old solved Rubicks cube in 114 seconds 
cannot?

I also tried the 

flashplugin-nonfree 

as well as 

gnash-common-opengl - free SWF movie player - common files/libraries
gnash-common - free SWF movie player - common files/libraries
gnash-cygnal - free SWF movie player - Media server
gnash-opengl - free SWF movie player
gnash-tools - free SWF movie player - Command-line Tools
gnash - free SWF movie player
mozilla-plugin-gnash

I also tried to use the library from adobe  
libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
as well as
flashplayer10_1_p2_linux_121709.tar.gz

putting the .so files in .mozilla/plugins/ directory
and all that happens is youtube crashes as well as even the NY Times homepage crashes ...

Thanks for any pointers!
