What are the file extensions of the videos you are trying to play.....?

Are they on the hard drive of your PC or online?

What player?
What format of video?
It's probably not compatible with the player, or no codec to play it is
installed.

Perhaps your computer hasn't got enough memory to work with the video
camera???

In my case with a sony I simply had to disconnect one of the two cable
going to my new monitor and it fixed the problem. Try it.
