This video runs fine in IE11, and earlier it worked also in Firefox. But now not. See: (http://uudet.titako.fi/data/documents/c6d_esitys_2016.mp4) Why ? What I should change? BG JTS

It looks that Firefox doesn't support the video data stream (YUV 4:2:0) and tries to play it as an audio stream if I check this in the right-click context menu and there is seems to be no audio in this stream, so there is only silence. If it worked previously then a plugin might have been used instead of the HTML5 media player (video tag). You will have to save the file and play it with another media player like MPlayer or VLC.

Hello Fred,

After Click to link, I get Black screen and Video Timeline running.

Nothing else. No error messages. See attached PNG file.

The video is self made from screen capture and edition with Pinnacle Studio.
