Google drive video: Color distortion - google-chrome

I uploaded some videos to google drive recently. When playing the videos in the browser, the colors seem changed. Downloading the video and playing it on my local machine is again fine...so I guess this is drive/browser related. Anyone experienced the same? Thx!

Turns out, I had to disable hardware acceleration for chrome. Basically solution 1 of this guide:

Sync fake audio and media stream for webrtc chrome

I'm currently using the chrome command-line-switches
--use-fake-device-for-media-stream
--use-file-for-fake-video-capture="file1.y4m"
--use-file-for-fake-audio-capture="file2.wav"
When I launch the following url https://appr.tc/?debug=loopback the audio is not synced correctly with the video.
Does anyone know why this might be the case?
Thanks!
the problem was with the https://appr.tc/?debug=loopback site. If you have a similar problem to mine use this site https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/RecordRTC/ instead.

How to allow system sleep on non-fullscreen html5 video?

We created a little chat client in our office that runs in the browser. It handles people posting pictures and gifs and embeds them. Recently we added support for imgur and gfycat's html 5 video (it auto converts gifs to mp4/webm). An unintented side effect of this is now anyone using chrome or firefox will find that their monitor will never turn off.
You can see in powercfg the culprit is these videos:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg /requests
DISPLAY:
[PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
Playing video
[PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
If you pause the videos, the entries in powercfg disappear. Switching to another tab, minimizing chrome, even locking the screen don't allow the system to turn the monitor off. Internet Explorer seems to be the only browser that behaves like you'd expect and only prevents sleep when a video is fullscreen.
Is there some way to mark a video tag as 'unimportant' and basically tell the browser that it's OK to let the computer sleep while this video is playing?
It seems there is a bug in Google Chrome 38 (current release as of this writing) that causes the screen saver to be suppressed when playing HTML5 video. Normally, screensaver suppression should only occur when the video is playing in full-screen mode.
This issue appears to be resolved in the beta release of Google Chrome version 39 as it looks like a temporary fix was made.

Firefox and Internet explorer mp4 playback issue

I use a tool for recording desktop videos.
I use the same settings in the tool and same resolution and record two different videos.
http://www.mindmigma.com/users/fb-fac3b0ok/video3.mp4
http://www.mindmigma.com/users/fb-fac3b0ok/video4.mp4
Both of those videos can be played with Google Chrome version 31.
But only video3.mp4 can be played with Firefox version 27 and Internet Explorer 11
When i make videos it feels like a random pattern if a video will be playable or not. How can this be is the video4.mp4 damaged somehow?
It feels so wierd when you use the same settings and its an 50% chance the video will play in Firefox and IE.
Would be really glad if i could get some help.
Thanks in advance!

quick fix: Set your security level to Normal (standard is Normal-High).

Google Chrome 28 doesn't play mp4 videos

I have an issue at the moment where I cannot get any .mp4 videos to play on Google Chrome 28, this only happens on Windows 7 machines, but not all of them.
As it stands, I was able to replicate the issue on three Windows machines out of five.
Even if I enter the direct URL to the .mp4 file in the address bar, Chrome still won't play it.
Can anyone here replicate this issue?
I have used a few different .mp4 files to test, but here's one:
http://www.w3.org/2010/05/video/mediaevents.html
I would appreciate any help.
Note: By going Chrome Advances settings and turning off "Use hardware acceleration when available" Chrome is able to play the video, however that option is turned on by default, so not the perfect solution to the problem.
Thanks a lot.
UPDATE: updating the video drivers fixed it, but again... not the ideal solution...
we also had this problem... Both Webm and theora/ogg worked fine in chrome and the mp4 video worked fine on IE9 and in firefox. Just chrome fails.
We also manage to fix this by updating the video drivers (intel HD on a DELL PC), so looks like a problem in the H.264 acceleration used in chrome and old intel drivers

Flash Audio Lag in Google Chrome

I'm currently working on a flash game and, at least on my machine, the audio seems to lag by a fraction of a second in Chrome, but not in IE or FF. This isn't a huge deal, the game is still playable, but it's a little bit annoying. Is there anything I can do from a development standpoint to fix this issue or is it something the user would have to fix?
Edit: I've now tested it on two other machines and the same thing happened. The audio is delayed in chrome but not Firefox or IE.
Edit 2: I've also tried the same thing in a few popular games on Newgrounds to the same effect. Is this just something wrong with Chrome?
Edit 3: I tried lowering the bit rate of the audio from 44kHz to 22 and it didn't do anything to fix it. (It also sounded terrible, predictably)
Edit 4: To prove it's not a memory management problem I created a blank SWF that just plays an audio file on mouse click, it also has the lag issue. This is definitely not a Flash or AS3 isolated issue.
I have/had the same problem with Chrome.
if you go to: chrome://plugins (->details) and disable PepperFlash, then it runs smooth. Not sure if Pepper is the default for Chrome, or if its the particular version of flash we installed.
C:\Users\ [USERNAME] \AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\21.0.1180.75\PepperFlash\pepflashplayer.dll
I had an intermittent audio and then the video started to lag. The solution was two fold:
Re-install chrome.
Get the latest Adobe Flash Player.
I had to do both things for it work properly. To get the plugins type the following in chrome address bar: chrome://plugins
After you install the latest player you need to disable the older one.
Hope this resolves your problem as it did for me.
