I first posed this issue to ffdshow and was told to come over here to resolve it.
I recently started using the Download Manager Orbit with Grab Pro installed which has the ability to grab media files. I'm currently using ffdshow [rev 1977] [2008-05-28].
I've noticed that certain files on YouTube are now called videoplayback. MPC doesn't seem to be able to play that file type.
Certain media on YouTube doesn't show the file get_video. The ones with that file name play fine with MPC.
There obviously is something missing that needs to be enabled or installed to play it. I tried enabling several codecs that are in MPC but to no avail.
Here's info on one of the videoplayback files.

I also installed VLC and it wouldn't play it either. Here's the response from someone over at ffdshow.
Well, I couldn't get it to play in MPC-HC either, but I just dropped the video found at the URL you posted in VLC and it played with a bit of stuttering.
It's H.264 video and AAC audio which ffdshow should handle fine, so I guess it's really a splitter problem (which ffdshow can't fix); they might have changed the format for Flash 10...
You probably should report this to the MPC-HC peeps over at Doom9.org..
