There are only veoh player versions for windows 2000 / XP / vista and for
Mac-OS/X not for Linux.

But I would guess you have a fair chance to view content offered by veoh
using flashplugin or mplayer-plugin. If not installed yet you may have to
install flashplugin-nonfree for this first.

Have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats how to
enable the multiverse repository nd how to install restricted media codecs.
In general it will give you some usefull hints how to play restricted audio
and video formats. (Not to mention help.ubuntu.com is always a god place to
dig for help)

p.s. Installing software like this should be well deliberated before. You
don't have the source code and by this you don't know what a tool like this
does on your machine. This kind of tools and plugins are well known to be the
best place to hide a trojan or to dig for private information whithout a
users knowledge or approval.

You should always be aware of this, but also don't panik. Pardon me if I'm a
bit picky on this but I'm in the IT-security field :-)
