if using the defualt iceweasle build , just install xine-totem and video will embed within the browser. However, I use a browser package other then what Debian provides so I have to copy mozplugger from Ubuntu becouse the debian repo wants to install iceweasle with it.

sudo dpkg -i mozplugger_1.10.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
cd /usr/lib/firefox-3.5/plugins/
sudo ln -s /etc/lib/mozilla/mozplugger.so

alternatively I instal mplayer-nogui to use the mplayer engine with mozplugger from Ubuntu (does not have player controls).
