Safari-youtube won't play/Firefox-plays

Im at a loss here - just went to Adobe to try an update - that didn't help.

While Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2) is up - reset Safari - no help.

I did permission repair just the other day - and speaking of Permissions - always tons of needed fix regardless of using the app.

The Disk Warrior DVD out there - does using this cure this nonsense?

This is the video in question - Instructional carbon fiber production of car parts.

Like I said - Firefox had no problem with it.

I did notice YouTube has updated there browser to a new Style.

Thanks,

Phil

JUST FOUND THIS SOLVED IT -

YouTube automatically put us into an HTML5 trial.

Go here - to leave the trial:http://www.youtube.com/html5

Found it after searching site.

Cool - Glad it solved yours as well.

It was somewhat odd at YouTube - where video loaded was just a black screen - no further action.

Then select random videos in menu - some of them did play. Even ones played Ok in my feed that I loaded.

If one did not play as to why you were there - non of the videos of that member played.

It really threw me for a loop what the cause was. Glad I held off with the screwdriver.
