    Could be a bad video. Some don't work for me. I get them to work by coverting them in iTunes.

    Where are you trying to view videos from? A site? Or a video you recorded on the blackberry?

    Also depends on the audio and video codec used to make said video. I don't thing current devices support x264 video codec and mkv video container.

    Gotten this more than a few times. A reboot usually resolves it for me. Shift-Alt-Del, then try it. Works like a charm. If it still doesn't work, the encoded music or video file isn't supported.

    It's a youtube only issue as far as you should be concerned. I never have this on dailymotion, after enabling their Html5 beta and zooming in.It might be a hit and miss issue when watching videos from youtube.
