@stevepusser: thank you for indicating the difference between encoder and decoder (I'm not so well-experienced in computers...). To answer your question, I cannot play h.264 in other places than youtube. In Ubuntu I do not face this difficulty, flash and other video streamings do work very well there. The only difference is that in Ubuntu the non-free Nvidia was installed, and not Nouveau. Could there be the source of the problem? In any case I give you the output of xvinfo:

Now it is time to go to bed. This weekend I need time for a study, but I will occassionaly have a look in this forum. I'm really enthousiast to use Debian, despite, or perhaps just thanks to puzzling, I learn a lot!
Warm regards,
