    The video is Flash. Right click the video and check settings and see if Hardware Acceleration is checked. Some people have had to turn off hardware acceleration.

    it's the latest version of Adobe Flash as well..

    Since IE9 is Beta is there a special Flash version for it?
    Can you play other Flash video at other sites like YouTube?
    Go to the flash site and see it works there.

    rich Internet applications | Adobe Flash Player

    cheers, Phone Man..

    adobe's site assures me that I have a working version of Flash
    already installed (it's the latest 10.2 version) - it works OK with other sites
    like BBC iPlayer, YouTube, etc..

    it's just those NASA videos - and they do look interesting..!!

    May be a problem with IE9. Can you give FF a try. At least you get to see the video.

    yes, it could be an ie9 problem, natch!

    odd that it should only affect NASA, but stranger things have
    happened when running (testing) BETA's. etc..

    as for installing FF..

    - eeeeeek!!

    the latest version of the Adobe Flash player still won't show those NASA videos..

    hmmm - what's up with it..??

    could another prog be competing with Adobe - I have silverlight installed as well..??

    EDIT: ie9 64-bit running - in response to NASA's prompt, installed Realplayer..
    no dice there, couldn't even access the NASAtv - so uninstalled immediately..

    PS: running WMP12

    per the adobe site..
    Confirm you allow the website Flash content to play on your system


    View the settings manager for your Flash Player installation.
    1. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac) on any Flash content.
    2. Select " Global Settings."
    3. Select "Global Storage Settings panel." The Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager should display.
    4. Select "Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer."
    5. Restart your browser and try playing an embedded video.
