If you download PPC version there shouldn't be any problem.

As far as I can remember using any Flash plugin caused the processor to
go crazy and the fan to spin loudly. Sometimes it would freeze the
browser
to the extent that it wasn't usable. Now, that was a while ago.
In the end I've given up and use "youtube-dl" if I'd like to download
that video or "minitube" if I need to view it quickly.
Remember that flash is only needed for the web player interface, not the
video itself.
P.S. 12" iBook G4 (2005) here.
