The Camino 1.0.x line is no longer supported, so if there is a Camino bug involved I'm afraid there's nothing we can do.

However, that doesn't sound like a Camino error message, so it's likely that this is an issue with the site or with your version of whatever plugin they are using for video (the site requires a login, so I can't check); you might try the Camino support forums to see if there's anything you or the site could do to address this.

As a first step, I'd try updating to whatever the newest Flash is that will run on 10.2 (looks like Flash 9, which really isn't that old: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406791.html ), but to be honest, you really ought to upgrade to a newer Mac OS if that's at all possible.
