Green YouTube Video's in 720P and 1080P.

[Svarog]

I couldn't really find the proper forum section so i hope it;s fine here.

I have a problem with watching YouTube video's for weeks now. I can watch them just fine in 480P, but once i up them to 720P or 1080P after a couple of minutes the video turns green ans skips towards the end.

I have tried many things already but nothing seems to work.

What i have tried:

- Upgraded from IE8 to IE9.
- Run IE9 in 64-Bit.
- Reset whole IE to default.
- Reinstalled Flash Player.
- Reinstalled Java.
- Disabled Hardware Acceleration.
- Different Videocard drivers.
- Stock Videocard clocks.
- Changed NVCP settings for IE to Maximum Performance.

I swapped to Firefox 16 and video's just play fine there.

Does anyone know what could be wrong and if there is something i have missed out to try?

You already found the solution uninstall/disable IE and use firefox or chrome... problem solved

Honestly though, why do people STILL insist on using IE?

I'm impressed on your determination to use IE. Start with Chrome see how that goes, IE has always messed up my 'add-ons'

I'm used to the layout of IE8. But i managed the same in Firefox now apart from the Favorite button.

Atleast the following is as it should be:

Address Bar
Favorite Bar/Bookmark Bar
Tabs

If Chrome can do the same i will surely try it out.

In my opinion firefox feels slower with each release, chrome just seems to get faster all the time.

The only thing that bothers me about Firefox is the scrolling on Pages. Seems jerky, even with smoothing enabled.

Chrome is also the most secure of all the browsers. Extremely hard to hack. It can be a real RAM eater, due to sandboxing, but you have enough, so it's fine. Definitely recommend Chrome over the others, although Firefox is a good alternative.

Indeed Chrome is the best of the lot tbh. don't panic when you open up your process manager for chrome and have LOTs of them this is completely normal, it makes a seperate process thread for each task, and tab etc..

 

[Svarog]

Tried Chrome, but i don't really like the layout with the Tabs on top. Apart from that when i click the Home button it can only refresh the first Tab.

 

[Josh Weston]

The home button refreshes your page?

 

[Svarog]

Well well, it just happend in Firefox aswell.

I'm having the same issue. I found this solution through google:
http://darktips.com/fix-flash-player-green-screen-video/

It seems to be with Flash Player. Right-click on the video > Settings > Uncheck Enable Hardware acceleration

If you read my first post you could see i had alrdy tried that and does nothing to fix the problem.

I tried Flash Player 11.2 today as the issue started happening since then. But it still happens.

The only option i got left is reinstall Windows, which isn't gonna happen untill i upgrade my PC to Haswell.

So far Google Chrome works fine.

I bet that's because it has Flash built in?

 

[Svarog]

Chrome also had the issue.

I decided to reinstall Windows yesterday and today it happend again. Must be something with my videocard then.

Never got any issues with games tho.

Found the issue, but i still gotta try it out.

It's a combination of NOD32 and 2 Windows Updates that cause data corruption during the download when a 3rd party driver working at Windows Filtering Platform layer intervenes in the communication.

I kinda started to lean towards Windows Updates last week.

Update:

Looks like uninstalling those 2 updates fixed the issue for now. Gotta wait for MS to fix the problem.
