I can't remember if ClickToFlash is set to convert videos to html5 by default 
or not, so here's how to check.

Press option+comma for the ClickToFlash preferences. At first I kept pressing 
command+comma for safari preferences and wondering where these settings were 
supposed to be. A frame will show up at the bottom of the page. Interact with 
the frame and press VO+space on html5 replacements. The categories will not 
appear as links but doing this still works. Make sure everything is checked. 
Now go back to the list of categories and press VO+space on media player. Check 
the box to load the media player automatically.

I just thought of another trick to try if ClickToFlash is unable to play your 
videos. Some sites have an alternative interface for iOS devices, since they do 
not work with flash content. It is possible to have safari tell the site that 
you are on iOS.

Press command+comma for safari preferences, and then go to the advanced 
settings.  Check the box to show the develop menu in the menu bar, and then 
close preferences. In the develop menu, go to the user agent sub menu and 
choose any of the options to identify as an iOS device. The page will refresh, 
and just maybe present some more accessible form of video.

Hope this was more helpful.

Hi Justin: 
I've got Click2Flash installed but it just doesn't do it for this site. If I 
get myself on a video using VO I just hear the keyword Flash which gives me no 
option to click on it to get any results. The worst thing about these videos is 
that they do not play when the page for the video is loaded. This is even 
without Click2Flash installed.
