http is 80 but thats usually open by default

IE: Extra => Options => Security => put for every zone the bar to the maximum, i don't think you are able to watch much movies any more xDDD

in FF almost the same, but there you have to tick and untick some of the selection boxes

You could try disableing the cookies in FF, but i guess more then only youtube will get blocked
or install the "NoScript" addon, there you can easely disable all the scripts you don't want to use

why?

are you secretly a nazi?

the only way to do it would be to block access to all the video streaming sites via your router

some routers probably could disallow external software such as flash. Or do as someone said, uninstall it on the PC's
