I'm also in video hell. My Hardy and Jaunty machines (i.e. all of them :) ) 
have both gone on strike. It's like there's a Won't Play Your Flash Videos 
union and they both joined one night on a whim.

I have not found a good solution. I have tried various add-ons to download 
flash videos, but they work on/off. The latest trick is trawling the /tmp 
directory for videos and then copying them out for playing in mplayer and 
company.

Video sucks and it's confusing, and it sucks :D
