Within this site; www.capson.com, are several videos all served up by HTML5 video tags. The syntax for the relevant code offers three different file formats (flv, mp4 and ogv), which the browser chooses the most appropriate format to play. All major browsers on both Mac and Windows platforms work fine, with one exception; Chrome on Mac.

In the case of the Chrome browser on a Mac, the audio track plays fine, but the video starts with a still frame, some 10-20 seconds into the video. It remains this still frame until the audio catches up to that particular frame, at which point the video and audio play, perfectly synced, like normal.

This is consistently the case with all the videos on the site, using this particular browser.

Anyone have any insight into the problem?

Thanks,

Bobby

This was a known bug in Mac Chrome for awhile - I thought they had fixed it.

You can find a discussion about those over at the Google Chromium code page:

But the core of problem seems to be faulty/crappy Ogg video encoding.
