1. Where did you find Pidgin 2.6.4? The last release is 2.6.3 and I can't 
reproduce 
what you're saying.
2. How do you know it's because of the flash plugin?
3. Could you launch Pidgin as below in a terminal and attach here the file 
log.txt?
{{{
pidgin -d 2>log.txt 1>&2
}}}

the same problem to me :(

in the console show me this:

The program 'Pidgin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 13170 error_code 8 request_code 142 minor_code 3)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Pidgin 2.6.4devel
(libpurple 2.6.4devel)
I installed ubuntu 9.10 without installing flash plugin, i open pidgin, start 
conversation, insert a link with video, and don't crash pidgin but i can't see 
video. 
After i install adobe flash plugin i did the same thing and pidgin crash.
From terminal:

The program 'Pidgin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.

We have found you have pidgin and pidgin-embeddedvideo from here: 
https://launchpad.net/~frasten/+archive/ppa. We have tested them and it is a 
crash, 
like you both said. But we've also tested pidgin 2.6.4 compiled from official 
sources 
and it works perfectly. We think the problem is with the pidgin package from 
that PPA. 
We recommend you to install official packages (2.6.3 is the latest release for 
pidgin) 
or get official sources and compile them and it will work.

Because the problem is not because of us, I marked this issue as invalid.

To everyone using my repository and affected by this issue:
I've fixed this in the last pidgin snapshot (pidgin-2.6.5~mtn20091130+22d8ed22),
please download it and check if everything is now ok.
