It appears to have been something about the Adobe Flash upgrade to Wimpy WASP. I've converted all the videos to use the JW FLV player and now all videos are working correctly.

Re: "Wimpy"... I started out using the Wimpy Button to play some audio clips a couple years ago, then started using WASP, and tried to implement RAVE, (Plano Software / WIMPY products for hosting and displaying Flash video on your own site without needing to go through Youtube or other public video hosting server). Plano has made the WIMPY line of products so difficult to work with they offer no support at all unless you use their configurator -- basically telling customers they CAN NOT edit HTML, Javascript or other code used with the software). It's another case of a good simple tool that the developers "over-developed" to the point of being unusable).

The JW FLV player is great... simple, it just works, and if you need to tweak it, you can open the code with a text editor,change some of the vars and be on your way.
