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.

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.
