I don't know what happens when both are installed at once, you could certainly try it.

Two of the instances consume about 2.0 to 2.3% oc cpu. The third instance consumes about 30% while the video is STOPPED, and it consumes between 80 and 98% of cpu when video is running. And because it consumes so much cpu, the audio gets interrupted quiet often. So you see, that it is quiet a hog! Next, I will try swfdec swfdec-gtk swfdec-mozilla gstreamer-ffmpegas you had suggested.
