Here is my report:

http://www.fedoratv.com - looks like it will start but it doesn't,
just shows "buffering"
http://www.ted.com - front page isn't rendered correctly, individual
videos just don't start
http://www.youtube.com/ - you need to click on video in order to see
controls but it works ok!
http://www.blip.tv - frontpage video works but other videos I click I
see totem plugin loading instead of swfdec
http://video.google.com/ - audio plays with black video screen
http://www.redtube.com NSFW - videos don't play (looks also like buffering)
http://www.metacafe.com - videos play but are wrong dimension,
sometimes with full width but only 2 pixels high?!?
http://www.videojug.com - totem plugin starts instead of swfdec ?!?
http://sclipo.com/ - doesn't work
http://www.dailymotion.com - works great
http://crackle.com - after click nothing happens, not even video
player controls show up
http://www.revver.com - video plays but video is smaller that it should be
http://www.veoh.com/ - video plays but "loading" message that shows
buffering stays overlayed over the video the whole time
http://video.msn.com - doesn't play video
