I think I have the same issue.  On XP home edition, SP3.  I have downloaded
both bad 2.1.2 and working 2.1.1 from portableapps.com.  I think it
shouldn't make any difference because I am using portableapps.com for a long
time, and for many apps.  I also reverted back to portableapps.com's 2.1.1. 
You suggested Jean-Baptiste Kempf to try some more formats.  I am not sure
what video format I use.  I mostly copy-paste youtube direct URLs to watch
videos.  Can you post specific links to URLs of different video formats so I
can try some?  How can I tell which format a random video is in?
