The problem is most likely that you're running an 800MHz G4. They can do DVDs, but when playing video files, they have some issues.

you can upgrade ram to 1 Giga and upgrade os to 10.4.11

i'm always watching movie (.dat, .avi, .flv, and dvd) with my iMac G4 (700 mhz, ram 768 mhz and os 10.4.11)

max out your ram, and do a search on mplayer for PPC, and how to set it up. mactubes is a very good app for playing youtube.
