If you don't want to dish out the $5 for Skyfire, there's a "video only" version of Skyfire called "Skyfire videoQ" for $2 . Basically you browse in Safari and whenever you hit a Flash video you send the link into SkyFire VideoQ . That will give you a good indication of what Skyfire can and can't do....and is essentially what Skyfire does anyway. Advantage is, you can stay in Safari for most of your browsing needs (and i like Safari for the most part)
anyway as others mentioned, the best flash browsers [without remote desktopping to your own pc] i've found so far is
1. iSwifter [Plays anything, videos and flash applications]
2. Photon & Puffin (they're very much the same to me in terms of compatibility for me)
3. Skyfire & Skyfire VideoQ [videos only]
Now i must add, i've had the most success with Skyfire when it comes to playing videos. Yes, you wait like 20 seconds for a video to start, but the FPS and Sound is solid. Photon/Puffin on the other hand, videos are slow and choppy (especially higher quality clips) . iSwifter which seems to handle most flash sites have sound quality issues on my end (poor sound quality) , if i could fix the sound it will be perfect.
So right now , i use iSwifter for sites that have flash games or flash applications (like booking a movie ticket within a flash website) . Skyfire seems to the good for simply playing a video.
