looks like a flash video. it works for me. are you using flash plugin or gnash? maybe post output of about:plugins .

[jadipietro (jadipietro)]

Started out using Gnash. Then switched to Flash when the former did not work in Firefox or Opera. Flash worked only in video. Switched back to Gnash after receiving your reply. Still video only in Firefox. Opera no video; no sound. Through trial and error, discovered that no swf decoder lib was installed. After a couple of by guess and by god installs, all video clips on BBC appear to work in Firefox but not in Opera. With all the thrashing about, can not determinel why swf decoder lib was not installed.

Final Report from the Buggee (Bug 211174)

After this morning's Ubuntu/Adobe update, Firefox
video and sound is working well. Also, for the first
time the System->Preferences->Sound tests work on this
PC (Dell Dim 4650). Once I installed the Pulseaudio
driver, Firefox used either Gnash or Flash with no
problem. Opera (9.50 Beta 1,Build 1643) also worked,
It is using the gxine 0.5.901, etc for streamed film
and the Mozilla Flash plug-in for flash video clip.
Opera does not seem to detect Mozilla Gnash plug-in.
