I think I've asked this before, but never got an answer. In certain forums and/or websites I can't view embedded videos (I think "embedded" is the correct term). In some forums if someone posts a link to a Youtube video it will actually put the video within the reply versus clicking on the link and going directly to Youtube...I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. My problem is that I can't see the embedded video (or audio). It just shows up as an empty box with a small jpg type icon. Anyone have an idea what the problem is?

My security setting is "medium-high," and my privacy setting is "medium." I'm not sure what it is about certain websites that my PC will not show the embedded audio and/or video.

Bingo.

System/browser is missing the appropriate codec to play the particular type of stream.
