You might want to check the home page for swfdec; version 0.5.2 has been released, and according to the info on the page it should work in most cases. Currently, we have 0.5.0 in the ports tree; most banners will work, but other stuff won't. If your question is limited to YouTube videos, you might use youtube_dl - it's in the ports. Andriy
