The site http://jpost.com, like many other news-oriented sites, carries some items in the form of vi

no problem with firefox 3.5 here

for example from

http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1194419829128&pagename=JP ost %2FPage%2FVideoPlayer&videoId=1256799093534

I have no doubt that it is possible to view the clips. The problem is that I can't, either from the site or from clicking on the link you supplied. The reason I tried to describe my FF setup is that I hoped for a suggestion about what I might be omitting.

For example, can you identify what video format is being used? (I don't know how I might do that.) Knowing the format might offer a clue to a missing plugin or helper application.

Flash is being used.

Now I know that. So the question is why, although I can see Flash on many other news sites without difficulty, I can't see these clips. There must be something different in them.
