The "source" tag seems to be duplicated but that in itself would not explain the issue.

The first video points directly to a "YouTube" URL, but the second one is pointing to a local resource. This might indicate that the file has a different name than the one specified, or is located in a different folder.

To more completely analyse this issue would require seeing the local environment. You can make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.
