WebM videos crashing latest Chrome/Chromium

[Roland Hess]

I have a page that is opened locally (file://) as opposed to from a server. It contains around thirty WEBM-format videos, and uses the native HTML5 player to display them. Only three of the videos at a time are ever shown on the page. This has worked fine until (apparently) the last update. This page is part of a large all-on-one-page application, so the HTML for the videos gets added to the DOM, then removed, then re-added later if the user "navigates" back to that section. On first "visit" all is fine. However, when the user "returns" to the page (i.e. the DOM elements are removed, then recreated), the tab crashes.

If I reduce the number of videos on the page, you can make more return "visits" without a crash, so it almost feels like there is some kind of cache or buffer that is filling, hits a limit, then causes a crash. 

Using Chrome 25.0.1364.97

Anyone else experiencing crash issues of this nature?
