Video playback problem on the desktop

I have a couple videos that will only play back audio on my desktop application using macOS Big Sur. I can download them and they will playback fine. All other videos in my account playback fine. I also have no problem with these videos in my MEGA account.

    Hi nopretenders, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    What error are you getting when viewing your videos?

     

    You mentioned this was in the desktop app, do you mean that the files were synced to your machine in the Dropbox folder?

     

    Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!

      I don't get an error message, it just plays back audio only. This happens if I go directly to my Dropbox account online in my Safari browser.
