Has this, or does this video work normally on other computers, or is this your first time playing this video?

I am 90% sure that you need the codecs for the video format
and
10% sure that the video was just badly made and is corrupt.

You need the codecs.

Download and install this. Basic will be fine. http://www.free-codecs.com/K_lite_codec_pack_download.htm
