This looks like the famous H264 issue where all videos encoded as H264 don't work Swfdec. Though 0.8.2/0.9.2 aren't supposed to peg the CPU with it, but just do nothing. Someone said adding &fmt=22 to the youtube URL is supposed to workaround that issue, I've never tried it myself though.
Do other video sites work?
