I did a little extra hunting on the error message and it looks like the problem may be that you need to install the Visual C++ Redistributable Package from Microsoft.  Try installing all of these:

VC++ 2008, x64 (this is the most important one and may be the only necessary one)
https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=7B50FDDF-4798-4FCE-8A8B-A8DFE556C8E4

VC++ 2008 SP1, x86 (just for kicks)
https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=A5C84275-3B97-4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2&displaylang=en

VC++ 2010, x64 (in case Matlab requires this)
https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=BD512D9E-43C8-4655-81BF-9350143D5867&displaylang=en

VC++ 2010, x86 (least likely to make a difference)
https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=a7b7a05e-6de6-4d3a-a423-37bf0912db84

After installing, you'll need to restart Matlab (I'm guessing), and perhaps even reboot.

I installed the first patch, "VC++ 2008, x64", and it worked!!! I am able to load and play the lab video clips I have. I decided not to install the other patches at the moment, will do that if other problems pop up.

Thanks again for the great support.
