Getting weird error on microsoft edge when playing HTML5 video - html

Basically the title, whenever i play the video on firefox or chrome everything works fine. But on microsoft edge i get the following error:
Independent composition is disabled for video rendering. This can negatively impact performance.
Edge will play the first second of the video and then display "video couldnt be rendered". I can barely find anything about this error and have no idea how to go about fixing this or if this is just a bug on microsoft edge. On this website i saw something about disabling css on the video tag which i tried and still no luck.

I find one article and one thread for this error.
In MSDN issues page it was marked as fixed. So if you are using any older version then try to upgrade to latest version may solve your issue.
Independent composition is disabled for video rendering
In other SO thread, the solution for this issue was mentioned that,
The way to fix it is to look for CSS animations/transforms on the element. These are usually suspect of a element being kicked out of independent rendering.

HTML5 video turns black in IE and Edge

Independent composition doesn't seem to work for the rendering process of my video. My ads are broken too. They remain black and give an error:
Independent composition is disabled for video rendering. This can
negatively impact performance
I'm using the GoogleIMA SDK.
From MSDN:
The HTML5 video tag is an element that is explicitly targeted for
independent composition. Independently rendering and composing HTML5
video enables a fast and smooth media playback experience.
I don't know why this doesn't work, is this a bug?
I'm not sure if it's a bug or intentionally done this way (Not sure since it's pretty weird that video gets dropped from independent rendering).
But i do know how to fix this. The way to fix it is to look for CSS animations/transforms on the <video> element. These are usually suspect of a <video> element being kicked out of independent rendering.
Hope this helps!
For those that wandered in from a Google search like I did, but the marked answer does not solve your issue
If there are no animations on your <video> element, but you are still getting this error, make sure you don't have the
transform-style: preserve-3d;
property in the style it may also break Edge, with the solution being to remove this property or to pray that Edge goes away some-time soon.

IE8 rendering problems with h2

on a website I am working on I have problems with an rendering issue which I can't figure out.
I've already played with margins, positioning, z-indices and so on to get it away but nothing of that helped.
It only occurs in IE8 (under Windows XP, don`t know if on newer OS also). I know IE8 is a bit deprecated, but because the rest of the page is displaying fine with it I would also like to support it, since some of my visitors may have installed it.
If you take a look at the page you can identify the issue very fast when using IE8:

Here is what the menu headers look like in modern browsers like FF/Chrome/Opera/IE>8:
And here is what they look like in IE8 (wrong):
How can I get rid of it. Please help, can`t figure it out why this happens. Thank you very much !
You are using the new html doctype and I noticed you are also using at least one html 5 element article. IE 8 won't recognize that element, or anything related to html 5. You need to use javascript to fix IE by using a script called html5shiv.
What this will do is inform IE of the new elements so they can be styled.

Poor performance in Chrome running HTML5 Video

I'm a little confused by this one. A similar question was posted here:
How to deal with poor HTML5 video performance in Chrome?
but no satisfactory resolution seems to have come of it.
The long and short of it is that the HTML5 video element has a very poor performance in Chrome. Every other browser I've tried (IE9/10, Opera, Firefox, Safari, Safari iOS) runs absolutely fine but Chrome (for Windows) buffers very slowly and occasionally stops buffering altogether. It seems to ignore the preload attribute, although according to this article:
http://oddlystudios.com/blog/html5-video-problems-in-chrome/
it DOES preload, just limits itself at a couple of MB. This is definitely a recent thing, probably only affecting recent versions (I'm on 26.0.1410.64 m) and it's not only affecting my projects but also other sites including YouTube. It seems to be irrespective of file format, and only seems to affect longer videos (those of 5 minutes and above).
I guess my question is, has anybody else come across this phenomenon? If so, how do you combat it? In the other thread disabling the hardware acceleration for H.264 was suggested, but not only does this not work for me, but it's impractical from a development standpoint.
Yes Chrome itself preload just few of MB's among its entire video. The only approach taken by me was, to show loading progress bar while we load the entire video at background. once fully loaded the video, remove the loading layer and show the video to play ahead.

Gecko(Firefox 3.6/4beta) Hides Div While Webkit(Chrome/Dreamweaver) Displays Just Fine

I've ran into a snag I've been working on for a couple days and can't seem to come up with an answer online. The site template I'm working on now is located at "http://citylakersbaseball.org/2.0" - I've got a div named "sponsors" that shows up fine in Chrome and the built in Live View of Dreamweaver CS5 - however, in Firefox 3.6 & 4beta it completely vanishes. I can see it in the view source, yet firebug has it grayed out. Maybe it's a DOM issue? (for which I don't know much about). Rendering engine issue?
I ran the source (index,htm) and CSS (style.css/nav.css) through the HTML validator - HTML is fine, and the CSS didn't spit back anything I would think could effect the div's display, especially since Webkit has no issues with it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Your ad-blocking Firefox plugin is detecting and removing the div from the DOM. I experienced the same behaviour in Chrome and Firefox (which have ad-blocking plugins/extensions), but not in Safari or IE (which don't); and, indeed, the div appears if I disable Adblock Plus. One of the more basic rules Adblock Plus and the like follow is to look for HTML elements with class="sponsors" or id="sponsors" and remove them.

Internet Explorer 8 doesn't finish downloading the page!

I'm currently finishing up testing a new Ruby on Rails app. Just recently, some of the pages do not seem to finish downloading in IE8. In FireFox, Chrome and Safari, everything works perfectly. The pages all validate successfully using the W3C validator.
When I view the page source in IE8, the page has been chopped off around 75% of the size it should be. IE8 claims the page is finished loading, and doesn't give any errors, but of course the page isn't rendering properly.
Has anyone seen this before? I'd really appreciate any help.
Have you tried to watch the http requests, using something like Http Analyzer or HttpWatch (like firebug for IE)? That might shed some light if there is a problem with a JS or CSS file not being found, or if the server is returning something other than a 200.
HttpWatch has a free version at http://www.httpwatch.com/download
IE8 Comes with a built in developer toolbar. Just press F12.
You should be able to diagnose most problems using it.
Also, open the page in Firefox with the Webdeveloper Toolbar addon and check if any javascript issues are arising. I find that sometimes you may only see the error in IE8 but you might only figure out what is wrong using Firefox. Give it a try!
There was a javascript call in the page that needed to be wrapped with:
document.observe("dom:loaded", function() { ... };
in order to work in IE. Apparently, it was disruptive enough to kill the entire page render. Thanks BenTheDesigner!
Since this is the first result on a Google search for IE8 not completing a page request, I thought I'd add on that I've seen the same symptoms caused by Sophos Anti Virus' Browser Helper Object which interferes with page requests and thus doesn't complete download requests every time.
Hitting F5 resolves the issue most of the time but a click to the next page can cause it to reappear. Other symptoms include odd page rendering of background images, incorrect repeating or no repeating being done at all despite a CSS declaration specifically telling a background to repeat. I spent a week debugging my CSS and XHTML only to eventually try disabling all the browser "Add-ons" and all of a sudden the issue went away.
I nailed it down to Sophos' BHO and now no rendering issues.
