I tried out those videos, and I could see/hear the ads that ran (either
in the video's place, or right before the ad), but it would stop (like
the actual video was going to play and it wouldn't).

Is that like the foxnews ads thing?  What greasemonkey script is that?
Below are the programs I am running if that has any bearing...

firefox-2.0.0.4-2.fc7
flash-plugin-9.0.31.0-1
jre-1.6.0_01-fcs
