flvThing is free: not nagware. It's compact: 107k. It's Intel compatible: doesn't run as PPC in activity monitor. The picture is resizable. The interface stays out of your way: semi-transparent overlay when you have your cursor over the playing video.

It's perfect.

The only downside of flvThing is that it uses a huge amount of processor process, running at 85% of Core2Duo Macbook as I type this.

VLC will play flash but it doesn't let you fast forward or jump on the timeline.
