Break.com embeds not working!?

I just posted a video from Break.com: http://videosift.com/video/How-Not-To-Do-A-Motor-Swap. When you try to play, it just spins and spins. The original is definitely a working video.

I found some other videos of mine from Break acting the same way. Luckily I was able to find most of them from YouTube and just swapped the embeds. But none of the sources were dead. They are all active.

Since I am no coding person, I don't know if there is something wrong with the embeds or what.

I am not looking forward to finding replacements to all my videos from Break.. So any help/insight would be appreciated!

Are you using ad blockers or something along those lines?

Break has been adding 30 second commercials to their embeds. It's friggin annoying... especially when I only want to see a seven second clip. But if you click on the ad while it's playing, you can then get past it and watch the video.

I do use NoScript. But I do not see anything but a black screen and a spinning green icon when I try to play them in VS. And like I said, the same video plays just fine when I watch it on Break.com.

When I click on my clip above, I see it trying to connect to 'www.budlightlime.com'. I allowed that on NoScript, but it still doesn't work. And I know my videos were fine a week or two ago. I was looking for deead ones and was happy to see that everything that I had from Break was there (since LiveLeak has had lots of stuff removed). And the same ones won't play this week

Oh well, I will slowly go through my videos again and swap embeds when I can. I am not going to rely on Break any more and will avoid it from now on.

Same same. Although my spinning icon is white. (?) I have Adblocker, but no Break vids (here) whether it's abled or disabled. I've tried all manner of local and global flash settings to no avail. Maybe something new in their embed code? >> ^mintbbb:
