Doing a vanity search for myself I noticed something interesting, here’s a screen shot when you list the top 20 results, notice the double videos in the middle
when you search by 10’s looking at the top 10 you get the same 2 double videos
but if you go to page to for results 11-20 they “force inject” a video that was on the first page … interesting …

Just as a matter of interest, was it the same URL in the second page or the same video republished – therefore a different URL?
@Al: same URL which is what made me think it was forced in
My guess is that they are force injecting it rather into the first page universal search one-box result and the result that you see on the later page is where that video actually would rank organically. Thanks for sharing.
Out of interest – what have you done to get the number showing to the left of each result? Is that a firefox plugin or am I missing something blindingly obvious on the Google preferences page…
@Chris: its the customize google plugin
