video vendor problems

We've been working with a couple of vendors here at work to get what's called an "online spokesperson" on our customers' websites.  You know, you visit a site, then some dude (or dudette) comes walking out from the edge of the screen, gives a quick little "How Great We Are" speech, then disappears.  They're annoying to customers but sales guys love them, so there we are.  As we've been looking for a vendor for such a product, we've met a few roadblocks.

Not the least of which is the vendors themselves.

Vendor: We tried to put our video on the sample website, but there's some kind of blocker in your system that prevents us from doing that.

Me: Is that so?
