I already had the totem package above already installed (came thru
automatic update) but it still didn't fix it. The way I had been doing
it was to copy the downloaded youtube video from the /tmp folder to
desktop and add extension .flv. This used to work about 6 months ago but
no longer.

My fix:
Download package youtube-dl with synaptic package manager.
To use, open terminal and enter:
        youtube-dl <youtube video URL>
The resulting .flv file will be saved  to your home folder (unless you changed 
directory in terminal).
I can play this flv in totem no problems. 

Hope that helps.
