I have an embedded video in SL3 and have disabled the Next button when the timeline starts on the slide to ensure video is watched. However Next button doesnt appear after video completes despite having the trigger set. I notice the timeline on the video is much longer than the Video itself. Would this matter?
If you put the video inside the storyline, the trigger "when media completes" should normally work with changing button state. Check with some dummy object if your trigger works properly. If it does with some other button, than you may be facing a bug.
I encountered the same issue - I inserted the video inside the SL (not embedded from the web), then set the triggers to Set state of Next button to Normal when media completes, but the next button didn't appear/become normal when the media was completed. Any help would be appreciated!
Glad to help. Would you be willing to share a copy of your project file here or in private by opening a support case so we can take a closer look at what's happening? We'll delete it when we're done testing!

"Embedded" you mean embedded from web, like youtube? If so, then triggers won't read the embedded video completion or position. You must either put video inside the storyline or use javascript to fetch the completion status (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7853904/how-to-detect-when-a-youtube-video-finishes-playing like here).
