This is a scam. Once you click on the link from the description, the one saying the concept might be real, you reach some site where you get infected. My antivirus warned me about "Google Earth" trying to add something like "Google.exe" from Windows Temp into startup. First, I don't have Google Earth installed, second, unlike Chrome, Earth had no service or startup entries not even for updates, third, it only happens when I go to that website, not before, not after.
Watch out what you click on.

Hmmm... something seriously messed up here. Vid is telling me to get latest flash player, but I'm on chrome (flash is built in) and every other video works fine.

edit: nevermind.. chrome was having a moment

@lucky760, are you aware of this. i am running chrome on osx 10.6.8.

Meh to Chrome.

embed is good in chrome now.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Darn it. Don't we all use Chrome? ;-)

Go to chrome://flags in your browser and change the GPU compositing to disabled instead of default. That fixed it for me on Mac.

same here. chrome on macbook pro 10.6.8

yes, same happens to me and I'm also using Chrome

It's just the Chrome/Flash combo and embedded YouTube videos, right? HTML5 embeds working fine?

If so, you can either switch to HTML5 or try this workaround for the time being: deactivate hardware/GPU acceleration for both Flash and Chrome.

1) Add "--disable-accelerated-compositing" to your Chrome shortcut, so that it links to: /chrome.exe --disable-accelerated-compositing
2) Right-click on the video -> settings -> left-most tab -> uncheck hardware acceleration
3) Restart Chrome

Again, that's just a workaround until they fixed whatever is wrong with it.

I use Chrome AdBlock, and it has made all the difference

Hmmm...can't play the video in Chrome. Even in IE and Firefox it is half hidden on my PC (Played it Firefox fine). Don't know if this is a site bug or embed bug...

Chrome seems to have an issue with freeimagehosting.net. Browsing to the front page of the site doesn't raise any red flags in FF17.1 (or a 64bit port).

Perhaps people have used it to host trojan image files and Chrome is just being overly cautious.

On my end, the only videos that don't have fullscreen buttons are embeds using the WebM player in Chrome/Opera/Gecko-based browers. Disabling HTML5 on YouTube is usually enough to get it working again.

Have you tried adding "mozallowfullscreen" and "webkitallowfullscreen" to the list of embed parameters?

i just tried zooming in chrome, the shit is whack.
