Give an example of those "certain websites" so we, too, can visit to
see what you mean by "embedded videos".




Considering it is porn, you'll probably need their "special" decoder or codec. I did find one that shows some guy singing and minimal nudity and it played okay. When I right-clicked on it to see Properties, I noticed it is Flash content. You'll need to install Macromedia's Flash Player. You mentioned having the Shockwave Player but that's not the Flash Player.
