I just came upon a video in a newspaper and when I went to play it, it stated that "your browser does not support any of the video formats available." and suggests I view their FAQs about HTML5. Which do not mention Pale Mon of course. Can I persuade it to play these - and if so, how ?

I'm using user agent mode: Native and both videos are working fine (live web-cam)

Edit: Works with Gecko and FF compatibility as well.

It works for me provided MSE is enabled.
(Options >> Content >> Video settings)

Make sure your settings look like this:

What version of Pale Moon do you use?
Also, what is your OS, and do you use any extensions or userscripts geared toward using YouTube?

The videos work for me as well for both links. There was no sound on the videos that were posted, so I started a video on the same website that had an interview and sound worked as well --- so I guess the two videos the OP linked are silent. Using Pale Moon 27.4.2 on Windows 7 using the same Pale Moon video settings that coffeebreak posted above (3 posts up).

Do you have any problems with videos on other websites or is this the only website with this problem?

Have you tried either/both resetting your connection and/or rebooting computer?
