I am not sure which plug-in CNN and Yahoo use, but they both state clearly that their videos does not work on OSX. I found out about this when I had exactly the same problem as you. Maybe someone will post a better answer with a workaround, I never looked for one thinking that both CNN and Yahoo will eventually make their videos playable to OSX users.

From the Yahoo help pages:\n\nThere are several reasons why you may not be able to view the video content streaming from our servers. They are included below, with the most common causes listed first.\n\nYou may be attempting to watch the material at a higher bandwidth than your Internet connection currently supports. To test this, try selecting a lower speed from the right pull-down menu in the bottom-right corner of the embedded video playback window. If you are experiencing this problem during the initial video test and are connecting to our service at a bandwidth of 56K or higher, this would not be the cause as this test video is streamed at the lowest bandwidth setting. If you are connecting to our service at a speed lower than 56K, then unfortunately it will not be possible to access our music video material.\n\nAnother possible cause may be that you do not have the Windows Media Player 9 codec installed on your system. This would be the cause only if you are using the 6.4 or 7 versions of the Windows Media Player. Download the Windows Media Player 9 codec. \n\nA third reason may be the bandwidth-detection settings in your Windows Media Player. This can be a problem if you have an Internet connection that has a higher download speed than upload speed (such as cable or ADSL). If this is the case, you can correct it by manually setting the speed within the application. \n\nTo change the speed at which the Windows Media Player attempts to download content, please follow these steps: \nStart Windows Media Player. \nOn the Tools menu, select "Options." \nClick the "Performance" tab. \nIn the "My connection speed is" box, choose the appropriate setting. You should set this speed to match the speed of your Internet connection. \nClick "OK."\nThe last reason may be that your Windows Media Player is not currently set as the default application for video streaming. This can occur if you install another application and allow it to 'claim' these file type associations. To correct this, follow these steps: \n\nStart Windows Media Player. \nOn the Tools menu, select "Options." \nClick the "File Types" tab. \nIn this area, ensure that the "Windows Media," "Windows Media Audio," and "Windows Media Video" file types are selected. \nClick "OK."

Are you using a dialup connection, then there may be a speed problem.\n\nOtherwise, reinstall drivers.\nTry one web cam at a time.\nRAM memory is too low...

I dont think the problem is with your computer ... You might not just have the right player to play the video. Try downloading the latest Media player or real player or quicktime player. If you have these then you will have to install approppriate codec so that player can efefctively play those videos. download http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm and then try playing the video

From the Yahoo news help center:\n"Please Note: Yahoo! Video is currently not compatible with Macintosh, Linux, or Unix systems."\n\nIt is official that Yahoo hates Mac users.  Death to Yahoo :(

OHH THE HUMANITY! What emergency? Try reinstalling your video software. I cannot believe you reformatted for avi files! Go to download.com and get a different player, there are many things you can do rather than reformat, sounds like you have been taking advice from hardware_guy!

All at once is a stretch, but all (or at least most) in one place is doable. Try here. http://www.pure-mac.com/video.html\n\nYou can also go here to see everything available at pure-mac http://www.pure-mac.com and then select video.

The real issue here may be that you are trying to watch cable channels on your PC / or MAC which is possible if you have a cable ready TV card .  You would hook up the cable from the output of you cable box to the input of you TV Card and walla you can watch any channel your cable subscription covers.  Now I am more familiar with the PC but I would bet there are TV Cards for the MAC as well.  Try this link http://www.nextag.com/tv-cards-for-mac/search-html.  Good luck and good TV watching.

The solution depends on the way you open the music video, i.e. which technology, is it online or a file on the system. Here's a solution \n\n(1) If it is a file, you might be getting a codec error, which can be fought by installing a suitable codec. You can also play the video using VLC player, it contains most of the codecs preloaded. You can download it at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/\n\n(2) If it is am online service, shut off the pop up blockers for a while. Yahoo music videos sometimes have a problem with firefox. In that case, open the videos in Internet Explorer

Yeah, that is true.\n\nIt is really annoying and there is nothing you can do to change that, except write to Yahoo and complain.\n\nJust a couple of years ago, they said all their pages/services would be compatible with Mac.\n\nThey never fixed their videos, their music site to work with it - and, they wrote a new web mail client - and it does not work with the Mac.\n\nSome months I think Yahoo is brilliant.  Others, I think they just do not get it.\n\nThey have a lot of projects going on, and sometimes it is hard to sense a single guiding hand or consistent policy guiding their actions.\n\nFortunately, you can get video news reports at other news sites which do support the Mac.  FOX News is one and there are others.

you may need to download macromedia flash player (the newest one) if that doesn't work contact yahoo, they will get back to you. Also, if you have anti-spyware programing this will sometimes block it as well.

Just try depressing the "print screen" key while you are looking at the video.   If you have one it should capture and play back.\n\nHope that helps.
