Confirming that this issue still occurs with 8.0b2 on Mac OS 10.6.8. Some videos actually show some frames but the video still doesn't play properly.

WFM on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0 beta 3
All the videos are starting and playing ok. I have tested this with videos from both links provided in the description.

However on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111017 Firefox/10.0a1 the videos are not playing at all you can hear only the audio of the clips wich seems to be ok.

Setting resolution to NEW on Firefox 10

This issue is not limited to 10.6.  I have the same problem with 8.0b3 on 10.7.2.

This issue seems to have resolved in 8.0b5 on Mac 10.6.8. I can view QT videos correctly.
