I wish this was working properly. I am using the HTML5 trial and embedded videos will randomly not work, and many, many other videos will simply show static with "You need Adobe Flash to view this video."

For some strange reason, the exact same videos work fine on my iOS devices — just not on a no-flash desktop web browser. I'm suspicious that YouTube purposely allows a larger selection of their content to work with iOS using HTML5, and purposely fails/requires flash on a desktop under HTML5.
