Nice to know I'm not alone. FYI, This all started when dropbox went down a few days ago. Before then, no problem. Personally, I refuse to tinker with my computer, as they suggested (change this, change that, fool around browsers and cookies....all of which I resist doing) when my videos run just fine on other sites, etc. I want them to go to dropbox technical support but I don't think they will because I'm using a free version. Fingers crossed.

I'm having the exact same problem. Following hoping for an answer soon, this is really a problem.
