Please go to http://www.elsevier.nl/video/ and try. The only thing I see is a solid grey square.
if it helps, I'm using gecko mediaplayer for most everything, except Flash. I followed these instructions (Hardy Heron ~ Mint 5 Elyssa, kind of). In particular, I deleted all the other players, like Totem and Xine.
