Actually, no. The 'flash' files served up by Youtube and the like  
are .mp4 and .flv files; only the embedded player is dependent on  
Flash 10.

Once downloaded by Cosmopod, the resulting files can be played by  
Quicktime Player Along with that indispensable plug-in Perian (why  
Apple just doesn't include Perian as a standard part of QT I'll never  
know...it's all open source.)

Perian DOES require 10.4, though; VLC has versions that work with OS X  
back to 10.1.
