      So I did a fresh install of 7 and this did NOT fix the issue. I've now done an upgrade to 10 and these busted videos finally work.

        Glad to hear that and sorry if I caused you trouble. At least someone's problem is solved.

          So I took the approach of taking ownership of "msmpeg2vdec.dll" and renaming it to have .bak as the file extension in both system32 and syswow64 and I still just get a black screen on that video in Opera and it STILL plays in WMP12.

          i tried delete the msmpeg2vdec.dll, disable with a weaker tools program, try without extension.. try version beta of opera... try everythingggg

          my windows is 7 profissional

          look at print

                  Does it play without any codecs other than default ones installed?

                      Yep try it. If possible using revo uninstaller or similar to make sure everything was removed.

                            @luucasalves, not all sounds are in MP3 format. I asked specifically for it. Anyway, maybe I should have asked:
                            Is there a "GPU process" listed in Opera's task manager (Menu > Developer)?

                              This is definitely a system codec issue and not an Opera one. Here is a link to the video file from the first post:
                              https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/635619016179101696/pu/vid/720x1280/M6wxwYfuQHPX2mfP.mp4
                              If you right-click, save it and play it with Windows Media Player, I bet it will play audio only.

                              Sorry, but you're wrong. I saved it and it plays perfectly fine with both windows media player and media player classic. Yet there's a black screen if I'm trying to watch it on twitter using opera.

                                With only the default/original OS codecs installed?

                                    OMenu > Developer > Task Manager. Do you see a GPU process?

                                      This is quite possible. 🙂 But on my machine every single video that plays audio only with Opera, plays audio only with Windows Media Player. No additional codecs installed. This should lead us somewhere. What certainly I'm wrong about is to expect Opera to act the same way as Windows Media Player. Maybe Opera depends only on the aforementioned native Windows "msmpeg2vdec.dll" for decoding. I clearly see that every opera.exe process (except "Browser") loads this DLL. There are a few other DLLs that may cause trouble, but this is where I would start from. As I said it may be a different version on those machines without the black screen issue in Opera. My version is "6.1.7140.0". Maybe someone without the issue can check the version on his/her machine so we can compare.
                                      Again, these are just thoughts. I may be wrong.
