On some systems, users see a blank or black screen while attempting to play protected video content on services such as Amazon Instant Video. The Adobe Flash Player automatically downloads a specific module used for protected video content playback on first use. Occasionally, an incorrect or corrupted Adobe Access DRM (Digital Rights Management) module causes this problem.
You can see an error [3320 - HostAuthenticateFailed] or a [2203 - IOErrorEvent] if the video vendor displays error codes.
Systems that downloaded the bad module cannot play protected video content until either 1) a Flash Player upgrade or 2) removal of the DRM module. This document describes how to remove the DRM module manually on all supported platforms. Then, Adobe Flash Player can upgrade to the corrected DRM module.

Replay Video Capture is the easy way to capture anything you see on your PC screen and turn it into a high quality video movie file It's a great way to make personal copies of ANY video that you can see on your PC's screen - especially ones that cannot be captured with other tools.
Note: This document applies to Flash Player 10.3 on Mac OSX and 11.x on all supported platforms.
Ensuring installation of the correct Flash Player library and removal of the Adobe Access DRM module restores video playback with protected content. Delete the Flash Player 'NativeCache' directory to clear the bad DRM module.
Warning: Be careful that no other directories are selected while deleting /NativeCache. This action could corrupt your operating system installation!
Follow the steps below for your platform to delete the entire contents of the Flash Player '/NativeCache' directory containing DRM modules:
Using Finder:~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player/NativeCache/For example: /Users/John/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player/NativeCache/
NOTE: The ~/Library/ directory is hidden in Mac OSX Lion. In order to make it visible and select 'Go' from the Finder menu while pressing the 'Option' key. This will reveal the 'Library' directory/menu pick.
