Does the video play normally when you download the file to your computer from the Dropbox site?
On the phone, could you try marking the file as offline first, and then try to play it?

I have also had this issue in recent times. This is on an iMac desktop;. If I download, they play fine, but cannot watch in dropbox. I use this a lot for work and it is very frustrating, Things that have been there since before this started are fine but the issue is with new uploads. It also applies to things I have uploaded myself, not just from other sources.
