the player plays just fine, only most of the video is hidden. I think this is a
bad HTML table problem.  Over to HTMLTables.  Confirmed with 110804 mozilla
trunk build.

Reopening, since Amar and Shawn are still able to reproduce.  (Where is the 
`Broadband Report' link, though?)

It continues to occure for me on a number of different systems - all W2K or
WinNT.  When you go to the News.com site, on the front page, there is a section
titled "News.com Video" on the right had side of the page.  Bellow it is a
number of links to their video news.  These news reports open in a pop-up
window.  As described, the selection begins playing, the audio plays, however
the video is not displayed.  Previously when I visited this section, the bottom
1/10 of the video would would be displayed at the top of the video section as if
its top-left origin point was far above the visible window.  Currently, nothing
can be see on the video although you can hear it playing.  

This is one thing that keeps me using IE to view C|Net's News.com site.

I have almost the same problem with both netscape 7.01 on win xp and mozilla 1.3 on 
manndrake linux. on mozilla I get the pop up asking whether I want windows media
player or realplayer. I select realplayer sometimes I get a realplayer window
with nothing no video no sound. Sometimes when I click on the link for video it
just flashes like I windows tried to open and then closed this is what netscape
7.01 does to.

I tested Mozilla 1.3 on my XP box it works fine if I use windows media. The
first time I tried realplayer it had I dialog box asking to open or save file I
let it open with real player and it worked great. The second time and after that
it just shows a window with a plugin icon.
  On Linux I found I was not using the most current build I got 1.3 final and
reinstalled realplayer. When I click on the video link it goes to blank screen
and then comes back to the first screen. Very similar to mozilla 1.1, 1.2 and
netscape 7.01 and 7.02. I did find another link that will take me to the video
that does work. So it must be something about the link on the homepage.
