Flash with Chromium-based browsers is out of my knowledge, sorry.

A quick Google search shows that apparently, at least a few years ago,
Chromium/Chrome used to disable hardware acceleration for certain
graphic cards. Knowing the limited capabilities of the AMD/ATI Radeon HD
6310 (an APU-integrated graphic card that equipped my dad's early 2010s
mini-desktop computer), perhaps hardware acceleration is indeed disabled
for this card. In which case, it might be forced, and perhaps the
following (dated) links can still help:

http://www.webupd8.org/2014/01/enable-hardware-acceleration-in-chrome.html

You should also install a Mozilla-based browser (and the PPAPI/NPAPI
wrapper browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash), enable hardware
accelerated decoding (see comment 1), and see if you can reproduce this
issue (no hardware accelerated H.264 in Flash videos). This would help
find out whether it's the browser's fault or the plugin's fault (cause
I'm not sure this bug should be filed against the plugin).

** Changed in: adobe-flashplugin (Ubuntu)
       Status: Expired => Incomplete

** Summary changed:

- No hardware acceleration for H264 Decoding in Pepper Flash Plugin
+ No hardware acceleration for H264 decoding of Flash videos on Chromium with Pepper Flash plugin
