Unable to watch embedded videos

Hello all,

I recently downloaded the new Opera Browser. Everything is fine except I can't even stream embedded videos. I'd like a possible solution please.

Thanks

What format of videos, or a link if you aren't sure.

I just downloaded your new version 8, and again the embedded videos from the internet play with a distorted doubled-on-itself screen.
Example is www.ghs38.com/ghs38.html The same video plays fine on IE8. This is not a flash videeo; its a WMV.
Can you Email an answer? Thanks. redblanchard@sbcglobal.net

Sorry I goofed. It is Google Chrome with the doubled screen. On Opera I get a perfect BLANK screen and no video.???

WMV requires a completely different plug-in, namely the one for Windows Media Player. Obviously you should have it on your system, but you may need to tell Opera where it is.

I gather (from watching the video) that GHS38 refers to Gardener High School Class of 1938. Yes, it does play here, with the WMP plugin on Windows XP SP3.
