If you want to post a video here on the board on one of the forums, you need to upload the video to YouTube, if you do not have an account, you'd have to create on YT.. Then once your video is available, as that can take some time, you can post a msg here with link to your video. Other video streaming sites may work as well.

Is the file on your Drone's internal memory or SD card?
Are you able to view/watch the video when attached to the drone?

Resolution

To resolve this problem, configure Windows Media Player to download codecs automatically. To do so, follow these steps in Windows Media Player 11:

On the Tools menu, select Options.
Select the Player tab, select the Download codecs automatically check box, and then select OK.
Try to play the file.

If you're prompted to install the codec, select Install. If you still can't play the file correctly, try the steps in the Advanced troubleshooting section. If you aren't comfortable with advanced troubleshooting, ask someone for help, or contact Microsoft Support.

Well, sir, nothing about YouTube is mentioned in your original post.
To post a video here, you must upload the video to YouTube or another platform and copy and paste the link. Use the Photo/Video Showcase area for this.

On YouTube, click the top right circular icon of your profile (might look different to everyone), a menu should show up. Select Studio Youtube, and there should be some sort of "create" button, again in the top right, that should start the process for you to upload video.
