![]() After updating all my codecs (Flip4Mac, DivX, Perian) nothing changed, so I searched for the codec package that included the WebM/VP8 codec Safari was default for. If you right click the HTML5 video you're playing you will see the codec it is using (Right click -> Show video info), in my case it was using WebM/VP8 so I supposed the issue could be related to that codec. In my list, I found that Safari was accepting WebM/VP8 and h.264. If you check the page with the HTML5 program trial ( ), you can see what codecs your browser supports. I think the problem is related to the Youtube's default codec used in HTML5 playback. Sorry for reopening this thread but I found out something that could help others. Please help, I'm trying to get away from Flash and this is the last peice of the puzzle for me! MacBook Pro Mid-2009, 2.26GHz Core2Duo, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD Problem stops once video has buffered fully Firefox, Chrome, and Opera play Youtube HTML5 just fine. Happens at all video qualities from 240p-1080p. Only add-ons and plugins are : AdBlock, Java, Quicktime, and Silverlight. You literally can't do anything on the page while it's loading. It's got something to do with playing the video while it's loading, but it's not a buffer issue. This continues until the video complete loads, at which point the video plays perfectly normal. The page becomes completely unresponsive and I start to hear the video playing with the video frame only updating the image every few seconds. What I'm experiencing is when using the HTML5 Player under Youtube, the moment the video loads I start getting the spinning beach ball. The issue doesn't seem to affect any other websites including places like Vimeo, National Geographic, Pitchfork, The Onion. ![]() Also, I noticed this issue only seems to affect Safari while Firefox, Chrome, and Opera all seem to be able to take advantage of this feature just fine. I've been experiencing this problem through multiple versions of Safari, and haven't been able to fix the issue. ![]() Wondering if anyone has any tips for some serious performance issues I'm experiencing under Safari while trying to use Youtube's HTML5 player.
