This may sound silly but I can't see a certain youtube video that I was able to before. Yes I'm addicted to "Angry Birds" and I use the walkthroughs to help. I was able to view these before but now I can't. I can view other youtube videos and I have the latest Adobe flash. Is there anything on my IMAC 10.6 Snow Leapord that could cause this? Thanks. The web site I'm trying to view is Angry Birds Walkthrough Videos, Golden Eggs, and more | AngryBirdsNest.
certain youtube videos wont play

There are many videos on that site. Make sure you have the latest version of Flash installed. I don't have the time to test all the videos but they do play OK here.

Having the latest flash should solve the problem.
If you have VLC try this. It is nice to know. I copied this from this forum.
VLC tips
In VLC, go to File > Open Network…
Open up the YouTube video that you want to watch. Once the video is open, right click the video and select “Copy video URL.”
Switch back to VLC and in the URL field, paste the URL and press open.
That’s it.
Why would you want to do this? There are a few reasons. First, this method will allow you to avoid Flash (you could also use HTML5 but that has issues as well). Second, you can make use of the equalizer which is great for videos in which the audio is important (such as a music video). Third, you can use your media keys and/or a remote to control playback.
