Older videos on that site still work.  It's only recent ones that fail. 
Perhaps they should be going to HTML5 with the new stuff and leave the
older as is for now.

Also, Youtube is changing to HTML5 and provides a means to make it
default for browsers that don't already favour it.  IIRC, they have more
than a few videos.  ;-)
