This is a known bug in the Flash player that Adobe is unwilling or 
unable to fix.  There is a workaround for it in the version 0.5 release 
of libvdpau, announced here:

You might be able to find a package containing that version in your 
Linux distribution's package repository, or you can compile it yourself.
