              If you download the file, can you play it on Windows Media Player, without any codec pack installed?

              opera://media-internals/ may give you a hint of what is happening.

                i on't see any way to download the video from IMDB.
                opera://media-internals/ doesn't give any clues.

                    no. it pops up a player, but nothing happens.

                    there are no error messages, but all the entries end with ' WEBMEDIAPLAYER_DESTROYED'

                          This is the reason for the video doesn't play. What is causing it may be a mistery.

                          Can you see videos on other sites?

                            @leocg yes. many. the only other anomaly is some sites don't play the audio when i use firefox. eg. http://techguylabs.com/episodes/1437

                              Goto the video, right-click on it and choose to save the video to your dekstop. Then, ctrl + o, browse to the mp4 file and open it.

                              Does it play then? If it does, then we at least know your Opera is capable of parsing the file and playing its parts. That would mean then that it's some issue with parsing and playing the bits on the fly while it's streaming. Could be a firewall and or antivirus issue then. Or, it could be a proxy issue.

                                @burnout426 yes it does play when i double click it, but it is playing in my video player, not in opera.

                                btw, how did you get the url of the video by itself?

                                what is ctrl + o supposed to do?

                                  Right click on the page > View page source sometimes help. You can use an extension too.

                                  Open a dialog for you to choose a file to be opened in Opera.

                                    i can't find the url, that burnout426 found, in the page source.

                                    when i ctrl-o to the file he found opera switches to video player, but nothing plays.

                                      @alk4444 It's among a lot of text, not exactly easy to find.

                                      Does the video play on Windows Media Player?

                                        @leocg i used opera's search and found something close, but the same and it doesn't play properly.

                                        yes, the video does play on Windows Media Player.
