While 0.8.5 can play most of the FLV movies I've downloaded from youtube.com, it stops playing some of them a few seconds in. According to the messages, ffmpeg seems to be the culprit. It should be noted that 0.8.4a can play these films fine, and that if I use 0.8.4a to convert them to mpeg, then 0.8.5 can play them fine.
EXAMPLES:

I reported this when 0.8.5 was first released

I considered replacing the plugin/codec that handled this but I couldn't figure out which of the 195 it was.

Try the nightly build.
