PhotoBucket has started using a more common mp4 format recently and FireFox has not had a problem viewing the new format using Adobe Flash player.
If you are using Internet Explorer 8 and you see a Quicktime http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd176/SlowStreamer/Misc/QuickTime_1-1.jpg
in the middle of where an embedded video should be, here is how you can correct the QuickTime Preference settings.
Change Apple QuickTime Preference:
Open Apple QuickTime Preferences by right clicking on the http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd176/SlowStreamer/Misc/QuickTime_1-1.jpg and then clicking on "Plug-in Settings". If you use this method jump down to step "5" and continue.
or clicking your Windows Start button, Programs, QuickTime, and then clicking on QuickTime Player.
Once open click Edit, Preferences, and then click QuickTime Preferences.
Click on the "Browser" tab
Click on the "MIME Settings" button at the bottom of the page
Remove check mark next to "MPEG" category

Click on "OK"
Now Uncheck the box next to "Play Movies Automatically"

Click "OK" and then if you still have IE open to the thread with the broken video link, click on reload button http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd176/SlowStreamer/Misc/th_IE_reload_icon.jpg?t=1278701048 or restart your browser. IE should now be using Adobe Flash Player or another Multi Media Viewer on your system.
Note: If it still does not play properly or you need a Multi media viewer that covers a wide range of formats check out :
VideoLan VLC Media Player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)
K-Lite Mega Codec Pack (http://download.cnet.com/K-Lite-Mega-Codec-Packs for your windows version/3000-13632_4-10794603.html)
Both are Free.
