Blank Videos - Liveleak & Longtailvideo problems

There's been at least 5 sifts in the last week that I can't play. Every one of them is a LiveLeak post that connects to plugins.longtailvideo.com. It seems that plenty of people are able to view these with no problem, but there are a few for which these videos are showing up as blank. I'm using Firefox 3.6. Adblock is off and I've even tried setting all java script permissions to on (since it uses java script). If you go to longtailvideo.com you are presented with a player to download. Is this player required to play these videos? If it is, and if all LiveLeak videos use it, then LiveLeak should be reconsidered as a video host here. If it doesn't play in standard flash without a separate plugin then it shouldn't be on the Sift.

Here's the videos so far that I can't get to work:
