Did you test the Override software rendering list from Flags?

I was not sure how to do that, but I googled it and think I found what to do. I went to opera://flags and enabled "Override software rendering list."

I relaunched, but the videos still did not work. Thank you for the idea.

Then I don't know what could be the next step...

Didn't read if you deleted the cache, may help, but check it in a clean profile or try this.

I tried a clean profile before but did not delete the cache. I tried both just now and still did not work. I appreciate everyone's help. Obviously, I have no idea why everything works fine on my other browsers but not on Opera.

Is opera://flags/#media-windows-mf-demuxer enabled?

It was on default (enabled) and then I clicked enabled to make sure, but I still have the problem.

If you download this video, can you play it using Windows Media Player?

Yes. I played it first in Windows Media Player, and it worked fine. I also have VLC and Media Player Classic, and it worked on those as well.

Try to disconnect :

opera://flags/?search=media-windows-mf-demuxer

Restart Opera

Did you ever installed any codec pack in your OS?

Yes. I have K-Lite Codec Pack.

You need to check if your system is able to play h264 videos natively. If it's not then Opera can't play those videos also.

I realized this did change the MSN videos. It played the audio of the video, so that is a start! The video screen just showed the video preview the entire time.

To check this would I uninstall K-Lite and then try to play the video you kindly downloaded and linked with Windows Media Player?

You need to make sure that all codecs are removed.

You are on to something! I uninstalled K-Lite Codec Pack and Windows Media Player will no longer play the video.

Knowing that it does not work without the codecs, is there a way I can fix the problem in Opera?

Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible.
Opera depends on the OS to play some proprietary codecs so if the OS can't play them so can't Opera.

That's too bad. I appreciate you and everyone else that helped me troubleshoot. I guess I will have to open Chrome when I want to watch one of those videos.
