I was researching further on this topic and stumbled across
http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2011-December/017091.html

Following it, I went to  http://tinyvid.tv/ and I am able to play video's from 
that site in konqueror.

So it is related to codecs. Hence I searched for gstreamer codecs that I 
didn't have. I installed the following additional packages 

gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins 
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 
gstreamer0.10-good-plugins
gstreamer0.10-ugly 
gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins 

So the current set of installed gstreamer packages are

local/gstreamer0.10 0.10.35-1
local/gstreamer0.10-bad 0.10.22-3 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
local/gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins 0.10.22-3 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
local/gstreamer0.10-base 0.10.35-1
local/gstreamer0.10-base-plugins 0.10.35-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
local/gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.13-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
local/gstreamer0.10-good 0.10.30-1                                                                                                                                                             
local/gstreamer0.10-good-plugins 0.10.30-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)                                                                                                                             
local/gstreamer0.10-python 0.10.22-1                                                                                                                                                           
local/gstreamer0.10-ugly 0.10.18-4                                                                                                                                                             
local/gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins 0.10.18-4 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)                                                                                                                             
local/phonon-gstreamer 4.5.1-1  

Log in again and it works. Now I can play the phoronix embedded video, 
html5demos video and the youtube trailer I mentioned upthread.

I think what I did was a broad hammer but it worked.

May be these could be added as optional dependencies to qtwebkit?
