I noticed most videos from yahoo web site can't be played using Vizio eventhough it support flash.

Example:
finance.yahoo.com/video

Those videos plays fine on my HTC phone.

Am I missing some extra codecs that I need to download from Marketplace for Vizio?

You can try to update to the latest Flash 10.3.
The new one is good enough to even make Hulu work if they didn't block flash player on Android devices.

Uninstall the version that comes with the tablet and Google for "Flash 10.3 .APK"
note: You won't be able to re-install the exact version that came with the Vizio

Tried that and it says "This version of Flash Player is not optimized for the VIZIO tablet and will not be installed".

Is this just a Flash 10.3 issue that most video on Yahoo won't play?

I said Google for "Flash 10.3 .APK" in my earlier post.
Do that and you can defeat the silly Market restrictions and install 10.3 directly.

More web video works with the update, but obviously the YouTube app and mVideoPlayer are better.
