Video is, of course, the most stressful work one can ask of a
system, and the most common YouTube codecs these days (On2 VP6 and
H.264) are very processor-intensive.
Usually,the best workaround is to try to keep the framerate but
downsize to postage-stamp. No idea how that could be done though.

Hello,
I tried running youtube on the OLPC. The browser showed to click here to
run
flash, but flash never ran. Did anyone manage to run youtube in the
browser?
Is there a flash puggin needed? If so, does it exist?
Gnash, which OLPC uses by default, is terrible in that version of the OS.
Even if you installed the official Flash plugin from Adobe, it is too much
overhead for the XO to handle. The best Youtube support I have seen on the
XO is in debxo using totem plugins (written in C afaict and directly playing
the video file through RSS magic)
FWIW,
I have not been able to get youtube on gnash working on ubuntu 8.10
but it works fine on 9.04.
But Ubuntu as a rule doesn't work well on the XO :(
So, when sugar runs on ubuntu 9.04 we will be getting pretty close!
I have not tried the latest version of Gnash in Jaunty, but if this is the
case it will be most welcome, and will greatly ease the deployment of Sugar
in schools.
Still no luck getting the standard 9.04 Sugar packages to install and
run on Sugar. I could not do more testing of gnash in Sugar.
But, when viewing youtube videos in gnash/firefox viewer on gnome both
CPUs maxed out on my dual core 1.6GHz laptop:(
