For a long time now I've wanted to be able to watch videos. I've done the "try this!" and "try that!" method and it hasn't worked well. So I'm wondering if anyone running CentOS 5.5 has Shockwave on Firefox working.

Are you perhaps confusing Shockwave and Flash? Most videos on the Web are in Flash format. Simply install flash-plugin, available on RPMForge, http://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge

Or from Adobe's repo. Note: Adobe only has 32-bit flash player as their stable release, although the 64-bit version available as 'beta test', seems to be stable enough (works just fine on my 64-bit desktop).
