I had this error too. Its because you have a corrupt or older version of Flash installed, or have javascript disabled. To fix a corrupt flash installation, perform a google search for "flash player uninstaller". Once uninstalled visit Adobe.com and download the latest flash player. Also enable ActiveX via Internet security properties if you haven't already.

Ok.\nIf you an Firefox user, get the "VDownloader" extension. Thid extension will allow you to download the clip.\n\nIf you are an IE user, Go to "Keepvid". Just copy/paste the video's url (as explained in that web) and they'll generate the sownload link for the clip.\n\nIn both cases you'll need a FLV player to watch the clips.

What type of movie clips are you trying to view?  What is your equipment?  If you're on an Intel, check and see if the plug-in is universal.  If its not, you will need to run your browser using Rosetta.  Here's how:\n\nFind the browser's app in the Finder and click on it\nGet Info by pressing Command-I or File>Get Info\nclick the check next to "Open using Rosetta"\n\nIf that works, I would suggest making a copy of the app, and having one run natively and the other on Rosetta.

The problem with this is that there are so many possible causes for this issue -- you have to have a fast enough connection to download the video, and you also have to have the right client(s) installed. Make sure you have Windows Media (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/) and/or QuickTime (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/) installed -- if you don't, go to the Web sites for a free download of each. Even if you have them installed, it's worth re-downloading them as a first pass at trying to solve this problem.

Depending on where you live, it may not be available in your area. I often have problems accessing videos because I am in Japan. It always says error not available in your area

Did you try restarting the player?  Sometimes it could just be a streaming error, where it has nothing to do with you or your computer.  I would try to restart it, and if that doesn't work, then I have no clue. LOL

OHH THE HUMANITY! What emergency? Try reinstalling your video software. I cannot believe you reformatted for avi files! Go to download.com and get a different player, there are many things you can do rather than reformat, sounds like you have been taking advice from hardware_guy!

some of yahoo video's video clips open a separate window to play. Do you have popup blocker on? If so, turn it off and try again.

What format are the videos stored in.  It could be you are missing a codec to play that particular format but until I (we) know what format they are in now (provide the file extension if you don't know) then it is nearly impossible to know what your problem is.

Maybe you need a Codec.\nCertain videos needd certain add-ons for media player to make them play - you just need to take a look at the error messages, find the codec, and download it.\n\nEDIT: The others are right, I used Div-X

The video you are buffering from does not have enough bandwidth.  Not much you can do about that.  Take some Aleve for the headache.

The video file is corrupted.  This happens to me often.
