Title pretty much says it all. It seems to be flash videos (I think those are the kind of google video, yes?.)

I have updated my Firefox (to 1.5) and my flash software, and yet I still have the same problem. The video starts, plays for about a second, then stops. If I go to a new part of the video, it does the same thing.

Any suggestions?
