This usually happens when you are missing a video codec.

If you check the movie info, it will tell you what video and audio codec the
movie uses.

If you search for a type of codec listed for the video components, you should be
able to
download the appropriate codec to play it back.

If you have problems with this, just post the info here, and we can try to help
you.
